    I love making this Lime Chicken Marinade. Not only is it super easy to make with common ingredients, you only need to marinate your chicken for a minimum of 30 minutes.

    When it comes time to cook the chicken, make sure you throw out the marinade liquid leftover in the bag. Do not use it to baste the chicken as it contains raw chicken juices.

    The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 165°F when cooking chicken. I always use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of meats to ensure it is safe to eat.

    You may be asking yourself if it's worth the time and effort to marinate your chicken. I personally like to use a marinade every chance I get. I feel like it adds another dimension to the chicken.

    Sure some days we don't have much time on our hands and need to get cooking ASAP but if you plan accordingly, you can take your chicken to a whole new level with a marinade like this one.

    🐓 How to Handle Raw Chicken

    Leave the chicken in the fridge until ready to use.
    Be careful of dripping juices. Clean up immediately.
    Do not wash raw chicken (which prevents cross-contamination).
    Wash all utensils and cutting boards (if applicable).
    If marinating the chicken, make sure you toss the juices before you cook. Don't ever use the juice from the marinade.
    Wash your hands after handling raw chicken.

      This recipe is to die for. So easy to make, and the lime juice just gives it a great taste. A five star in my book.
