Cilantro Lime Marinade
03/16/2025
If you think about marinated chicken recipes, we can all bet your first thought would be BBQ chicken! But as much as we love that classic masterpiece due to its sweet, deep, and smoky taste, it can get repetitive and boring if consumed as a fixed combo every time. This Cilantro Lime Marinade recipe is great for people who like food variety while keeping things simple!
There are many other marinade recipes that will change the way you cook marinated chicken. Their flavor profile doesn’t always have to be sweet or salty — they can be citrusy, spicy, and uniquely interesting too!
For this recipe, we’ll use Philippine limes or calamansi as the main flavoring instead of usual key limes to add a hint of sweetness. Using Calamansi Unsweetened Concentrate by Nature’s Juice is sure to make cooking more convenient while keeping it healthy due to its retained freshness and restricted preservatives.
For a kick of spice, using Spicy Crunchy Garlic Bits from Flavors of Quezon is an excellent choice as a substitute for plain garlic — deeper flavors yet more convenient!
