Grilled Caribbean Lime Chicken Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Grilled Caribbean Lime Chicken is a flavorful and tangy dish that combines the tropical flavors of the Caribbean with the smoky char of grilled chicken. The chicken is marinated in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, spices, and herbs, which infuses it with a zesty and aromatic flavor. Grilling the chicken adds a delicious smoky flavor and creates a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the meat juicy and tender. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues or any time you want to bring a taste of the Caribbean to your table.
