Grilled Chipotle Marinated Chicken

SUBMITTED BY: David Huntzinger PHOTO BY: David Huntzinger

"This chicken is grilled after being marinated in a spicy marinade. The chipotle chiles give the marinade its smoky flavor. You can increase the heat to your liking with your favorite hot sauce. Habanero hot sauce works best, as very little is needed to increase the heat without changing the flavor of the marinade. I think mesquite charcoal works best as it enhances the flavor."

  • hot sauce to taste (optional)
  • 2 cups Worcestershire sauce

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place garlic, onion, chipotle peppers, and vinegar into a blender. Puree until smooth, then add water, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce.
