Good flavorful and easy marinade! Marinated boneless chicken breasts for about 7 hours (flipping halfway) and grilled. Could have been a bit spicier so next time I will ad a pinch more red pepper. I also did not add the lime zest, and used Italian seasoning instead of just oregano which I think added more flavor. Will make again. Wanted to add that I made it a second time with a bit more pepper but still no zest. Marinated over 24 hours and it was yummy!

Substituted plenty of fresh cilantro for the oregano and marinated 24 hours. Originally thought the recipe was fair. It smelled great but even with the extended marinading, the lime flavor was milder than I like. Surprisingly, it was not all that spicy -- even with the addition of a little more red pepper and a few dashes of Tabasco; however... the next day I made a grilled quesadillas from the left over chicken breast. It was absolutely fantastic. Shredded chicken between two flower tortillas. Covered with shredded mild cheddar, a little chopped fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. Sprayed tortillas with Canola and grilled till the cheese was melted. Served with sour cream and salsa but honestly they didn't need anything ... other a cold Corona with lime. Perfect summer lunch!

This was very tasty. I didn't have breasts on hand so I did thighs and legs. I removed the skin from the thighs before marinating. I baked the chicken for about 1/2 hour at 350 and then grilled it to finish it off. It was very moist and delicious. I'll definitely use this recipe again.

By far and away one of our favorite marinades so far. However, we ended up marinating the chicken for a day and a half instead of one hour due to a medical emergency in the family. Family member ended up being just fine. We came home grill the chicken and discovered it was one of the best meals we ever had. Used 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs as that is what I had on hand at the time, increased the lime juice to use the whole lime, 4 cloves garlic and at least a 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes maybe more. So very good... the family is already asking for more.

This is one of my family's favorite chicken recipes. The chicken is so tender. I really like the citrus flavor. To make it a little healthier I use olive oil. I also add more red pepper flakes for added kick.

Perfectly spicy. I used the marinade on chicken tenders and broiled them in the oven for about 12-15 mins, turning once. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic! I doubled the lime juice and garlic, and let it marinate for an extra half hour or so, and it got rave reviews.

Not to take anything away from this marinade, because it was ok, but I have had a bit more favorable results when I added McCormick spices to this instead of just the regular red pepper flakes. When I made this the first time my taste buds just seemed to yearn for something more, so I tried adding the spices and my family and I really enjoyed it.

Tasty but not 'spicy'. I halved the marinade for 4 small breasts (1lb total) - next time I may keep the red pepper flakes at 1/4t for some extra zip. Marinated longer than 1hr (I froze everything together & defrosting took 2 days).

Good but definitely spicy. I did the chicken on the Foreman grill, and it was moist and very flavorful. If I were to make it again, I wouldn't bother with the oil. It's kind of pointless, as it doesn't add anything to the flavor. Thanks, Jenn!

Very good marinade for chicken. I ended up marinating two boneless chicken breasts and two thighs for almost 2 days, as I didn't cook it the first night I thought I was going to. It turned out so good and tasty. The only change I made was to leave out the salt. Might try a bit more red pepper flakes next time. Thanks for sharing!

The best!! I used a stovetop grill and did not even have to oil it. Chicken was tender and so tasty. The lime taste really came through. Next time I would add a little more pepper as we like things spicier. Thank you for posting.

Very tasty. I did not have fresh oregano, so I used 1/2 teaspoon of ground oregano. It was still very yummy.
