you all can have the recipe, enjoy!

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN (serves 8)
Ingredients
The juice of 3 and a half Limes
One bunch fresh Cilantro
¾ of a bunch on Green Onions
5 cloves fresh Garlic
2 tsp Chili powder
2 tsp ground Cumin
1 Tbsp Soy sauce
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp M+M Steak Spice or 1 1/2 tsp coarse Salt


Method
Add all the ingredients to the blender and chop until the garlic is about 1/16” in size. Marinate 16 boneless/skinless chicken thighs (remove any excess fat) for one to two hours, or if in a jam, 15 minutes will do just fine. Cook over a high flame on the Bar-B-Que for about 2 minutes a side.


Serve with rice, pita bread and sour cream or yoghurt with chopped red onions and fresh parsley.



p.s. this one will impress the girls, so make your g/f dinner tomorrow.

well i did not win the BBQ. some girl thats pregnant cooked some cajun chicken burger, that was more southwestern than cajun won. i know mine is good, i really don't care what other people think.

i look at it this way, i was one of three chicken recipes out of nine finalists picked out of 500+ entries. that to me says enough.

the chef from the food network did not show up, he is now dead to me.

It's pretty good. The lime gives it sort of a zesty flavor. I'll definitely make it again.

i would say that its about 4-6 tablespoons(2-3FLoz, 1/4-1/3 of a cup) for each lime, but that too is just a guess.
