Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk vegetable oil, chili powder, lime juice, honey, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper together in a medium bowl until well combined.

Step 2

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 3

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).

Step 4

Gather the ingredients.

Step 5

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken strips from marinade; discard any unused marinade.
