Recipe Expert Tips

Expert Tips
  • Chicken: Boneless white or dark meat chicken can be used.
  • Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces you are cooking.
  • Always cook chicken completely before serving. Chicken is cooked completely when the thickest part has reached 165 F. degrees.
  • Key limes: Use real Key lime juice for the best flavor. Key limes are more aromatic, more acidic, and are considered to have a highly superior flavor compared to other limes.
  • BBQ sauce: Barbecue sauce is optional but if using brush the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling.
