Margarita Chicken
Jul 12, 2024 12:47 AM
This margarita chicken marinates in citrus and garlic and turns out juicy, packed with flavor, and great with all your favorite summer BBQ side dishes! Simple, refined sugar free, naturally paleo friendly.
I absolutely LOVE the flavor of this margarita chicken!
Typically I go for dry seasonings over marinades with chicken, but I wanted to try a variation on this citrusy marinade.
You can cook it on a grill or pan fry in a skillet. Choose boneless skinless thighs (my choice!) or breasts – very versatile!
It’s super easy and I know you’ll love it as much as I do – let’s get into the details.
