Summer is here! This means the start of our grilling streak. First up: our Green Habanero Grilled Chicken recipe. But this isn’t about the chicken, it’s about the marinade.

The combination of spices, acidity and flavors is the trick to a tender filet that gives it that “melt in your mouth” texture.
