Why Choose Citrus for Grilling? Citrus fruits like lemon, lime, and orange add a natural acidity that tenderizes the chicken, making it juicy and flavorful.

The combination of fresh citrus juice, garlic, honey, and herbs creates a marinade that not only enhances taste but also keeps the chicken moist during grilling.

How to Make It Start by marinating boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a mixture of fresh citrus juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, salt, and pepper.

Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, marinate overnight. Grill the chicken over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
