Chipotle Garlic Chicken Marinade
Categories: Cooking, Food, RecipesHere’s a quick marinade I came up with last night.
Mix together in a medium bowl:
- 4 tsp Chipotle Tobasco
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 2 tbsp Orange Juice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tsp sugar
Make several shallow slices in the skin side and place in bowl and turn to coat:
- 3 chicken breasts
Let merinate at least 10 minutes but probably not more than an hour. Grill or broil.
Mix all but chicken in a bowl or ziplock bag. Add chicken and marinate for at least 10 minutes. Cook on grill or broil.
In just a short amount of time all the flavors of this marinade come through quite nicely. The fresh lime helps a lot and I would not substitute bottled.

One thing I forgot to mention… When I made this I cut shallow slices into the top of the chicken breast to help the marinade act more quickly. Probably not necessary, but it can’t hurt.
Enjoy!
