Sweet and Spicy Grilled Chicken

This marinade has it all, it’s sweet, smoky, tangy, spicy and hot! I really have no heat tolerance but this chicken was so moist and flavourful that I didn’t mind that my lips were on fire and that my tongue had gone numb!

      Absolutely! I’d do it at 375 for 20-25 minutes; until the juices run clear and the internal temp hits 165 🙂

      Hey!

      It’s on the shelf with the taco kits in my grocery store. It’s a small tin next to the salsa.
