Chili Lime Sauce Food

CHILE LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place all ingredients into a food processor blender. Blend mixture well.
• Bring sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 more minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
• Follow the above directions, if using as a marinade, but let the sauce cool for 30 minutes before using. Marinade beef for 6 to 12 hours, chicken and pork for 4 to 6 hours, fish, seafood, and vegetables for 30 minutes.
• Make this sauce ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week after preparation.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
• Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

• Cover and set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
• To prepare the sauce, combine all ingredients listed for the sauce in a small bowl; stir to dissolve the sugar and mix everything well.
• To cook the fish, build a hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Place the fish carefully on the grill for about 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish and how well you like it done.
• Transfer to a serving platter alongside the Chili-Lime Sauce and serve hot or warm.
