Grilled Chipotle Marinated Chicken

SUBMITTED BY: David Huntzinger  PHOTO BY: Sandy (AZ) 

"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."

  • 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 4 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • hot sauce to taste (optional)
  • 2 cups Worcestershire sauce
