Steps:
- In a saucepan whisk together the zests, the juices, the sugar, the garlic, the cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer the mixture, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the oil and let the marinade cool.
- In a large dish arrange the chicken, pricked in several places with a fork, in one layer, pour the marinade over it, and let the chicken marinate, covered and chilled, turning it once, for 1 to 3 hours. Transfer the chicken with tongs to an oiled grill set about 6 inches over glowing coals or to an oiled ridged grill pan set over moderately high heat and grill it, basting it with the marinade for the first 20 minutes (discard any remaining marinade). Turn the chicken over and grill it for 20 minutes more, or until it is cooked through.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, and oil. Place chicken pieces in the mixture, and marinate at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (preferably 2 hours).
- Preheat the oven broiler. Fit a roasting pan with a lightly greased wire rack. Fill pan with water to just below the level of the rack.
- Remove chicken from marinade, arrange on the wire rack, and season with Italian seasoning and seasoned salt. Transfer remaining marinade to a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
- Broil chicken 10 minutes in the preheated oven, basting frequently with the boiled marinade. Turn chicken, season again with Italian seasoning and seasoned salt, and continue broiling and basting 10 minutes, or until well browned and juices run clear.

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the cooking process quicker and easier.
- Tenderize the chicken before cooking. This will help to make the chicken more flavorful and juicy. You can tenderize the chicken by pounding it with a mallet, marinating it in a mixture of lemon juice, lime juice, and olive oil, or using a commercial tenderizer.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use fresh lemons and limes. The fresher the lemons and limes, the more flavorful the dish will be.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Serve the chicken with a variety of sides. Some popular sides for lemon-lime chicken include rice, pasta, potatoes, and vegetables.
Conclusion:
Lemon-lime chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of lemon and lime gives the chicken a bright and refreshing flavor, while the garlic and herbs add depth and complexity. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
