For over a decade, my family has enjoyed this amazing double marinade dish that we call Basil Lime Chicken. If the grill is on, my family is asking for this recipe!
Don’t let the “double marinade” scare ya. That is just our way of saying you marinade the chicken before grilling, and then make another batch of the marinade to pour over it after cooking to make an amazing sauce.
It is so good.
