Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons garlic salt
• 4 limes, juiced
• 1 whole whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Step 3

Whisk cilantro, lime juice, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add chicken; toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 minutes to overnight.

Step 4

Cook on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near but not touching the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
