Expert Tips

Microwave the chicken to partially cook it before grilling. Not only does this save time, but it can also help prevent overcooked, burned chicken. Place marinated chicken in microwavable dish with thickest parts to the outside edge. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap, folding back one corner to allow steam to escape. Microwave on High 10 to 12 minutes, rotating dish 1/2 turn after 5 minutes, until edges begin to cook; drain. Immediately put chicken on heated grill; grill 15 to 20 minutes.

Garnish individual servings with lime slices or sprigs of fresh basil, oregano or thyme.

The chicken was okay but the only flavor that I could really taste was lime.

Excellent! Moist and flavorful. Used fresh oregano from the garden and it was delicious! Plan on making this again many times this summer with more fresh herbs.

This was a very good recipe for grilled chicken. We left the skin on and it was very moist, even after grilling it thoroughly. Would like for one more flavor - maybe some garlic to bring out the other herbs for a little more bite.
