Citrus Barbecued Chicken
"From the local TV cookbook called "KCTS Cooks" (on the grill). This marinade gives the chicken a delicious, fruity tang. It was sent in by a viewer in Bellingham, Washington. This is also WW friendly, only 3.5 points."

Loved this chicken. I marinated it overnight and really enjoyed the nice citrus flavor. Thanks for sharing, Teresa. Made for For Your Consideration tag. -
We really enjoyed this chicken. It's nice, light and fresh tasting due to the citrus. Next time I might add more of the garlic, oregano and chili powder. I particularly liked the fact that this chicken can be both marinated and cooked very quickly! Thank you. -
This was absolutely amazing! Even though I was out of lime/lime juice, my SIL suggested trying it with orange juice, not really the same but it still turned out delicious! I pan seared the chicken since it's much too cold outside right now to grill, then deglazed the pan with chicken broth and lemon juice for a nice full flavored sauce. The whole family raved! This will be a regular for sure! :D -
Marinated the chicken overnight and DH cooked on the grill. A light citrus flavor and moist chicken that we enjoyed. I agree with the reviewer that mentioned serving this with a subtle side dish to not overpower the chicken. Made and reviewed for Kittencal's Recipe Tag Game. -
It isn't exactly BBQ weather here in London today. So, I did these under the broiler and they still turned out really well. I ended up marinating them for several hours in the fridge and by the time they were done they were packed full of flavour. I really enjoyed them and think they would be a great base for a chicken burger piled high on a bun with some mayo and crisp veggies. Made for Spring PAC 2010.
