Wow, these are super delicious. We loved the lime flavor. Left the honey out and baked these. Definitely a keeper!

Great recipe. I used it on chicken thighs. I marinated it for a bit less than an hour but will try to leave it in longer next time. Made for 1-2-3 hits.

Made this as written, my husband loved this even though I couldn't taste anything other than the limes. Next time, I'll cut down on the limes so I can taste the other spices.

I marinated for 2 hours, and the chicken breasts grilled up nice and moist. Mine did taste too much of lime, but maybe my limes were too large. These would be great on a sandwich, with provolone and a nice sliced red onion! Thanks for sharing. Made for Potluck Tag!

This is an outstanding chicken dish! What great flavor to this marinade - I love cumin and it really shines through without overpowering. I marinated for about 6 hours, then grilled and the result was moist and flavorful chicken. Will use this often this summer - thanks for sharing the recipe!
