Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 limes, juiced
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons garlic salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 whole whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces

Steps:

  • Whisk lime juice, cilantro, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
