Lemon Lime Chicken

Another easy chicken recipe. I love marinating chicken in various things but I keep coming back to this one as a favorite. If you end up with an abundance of lemons or limes or they go on sale, remember that you can juice them and freeze the juice in ice cube trays, then pull out a cube when you need it. I also grate the zest of both and freeze them in sandwich bags so I can have lemon or lime zest easily.

1 lemon
1 lime
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 crushed garlic clove
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

your favorite chicken parts

Grate zest from lemon and lime into medium bowl. Add everything else and mix well. Marinate your favorite chicken pieces in it up to 12 hours in refrigerator. You can also mix up the marinade, add it to the chicken, and then freeze.

Barbecue or bake as desired. If you use it to make burritos, add some Grape and Cucumber Salsa to the menu.
