Directions

Prep 15 minCook 35 min
  1. 1

    Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).

  2. 2

    Stir together lime juice, oil, adobo, and salt in a liquid-measuring cup. Place chicken in a large sealable bag and add 1/3 cup marinade (reserve remainder). Seal bag, removing excess air, and marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Stir honey into remaining marinade until dissolved to make sauce.

  3. 3

    Grill chicken (discard marinade in bag) on a lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally and moving to avoid flare-ups, until just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

  4. 4

    Brush both sides of chicken with some of reserved sauce, then continue to grill, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Serve chicken drizzled with remaining sauce.
