If you like mexican food. You will enjoy this recipe. What a way to finish your chicken off on the grill. The taste is amazing. (a little spicey). You can marinade this recipe and put in the refrigerator before leaving for work and it will be ready to put on the grill when you arrive home. Also fix Siesta Rice to go with chicken. What a combination.

    Let the chicken sit in the refrigerator over night or about 4 hours during the day. I put mine out at Noon and it was ready when I prepared my evening meal.
