Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh limes and garlic. If you don't have fresh limes, you can substitute bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the chicken and flavor it.
If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will prevent them from burning.
When grilling the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.

Conclusion:

This chili lime and garlic marinade is a delicious and easy way to flavor chicken. The marinade is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand. It's perfect for grilled chicken, but it can also be used for baked or pan-fried chicken.
