After trying a delicious grilled corn recipe which featured fresh, high quality chili powder and limes, I was inspired to try making a marinade based on the same for chicken. It was refreshing and delicious - perfect for hot Florida summer nights. I served with Jasmine rice.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well.

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I served it over mashed potatoes and it was a delicious meal.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but I was able to balance it out by adding a bit of extra chili powder.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of heat. I would recommend using less chili powder if you're not a fan of spicy food.
