Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 2
Whisk vegetable oil, chili powder, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined.
Step 3
Place chicken strips in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour in marinade and knead to coat; squeeze out excess air, seal bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
Step 4
Remove chicken strips from marinade; discard any unused marinade.
Step 5
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until browned on all sides and chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
