Moist, bursting with flavor, this grilled coconut lime chicken is sure to please. Freezer and kid friendly, perfect for your next BBQ. Whole30, Paleo, Keto, Gluten & Dairy Free!
Pour coconut milk into a large measuring bowl. Zest one lime (use half or whole depending on how much citrus flavor you want). Squeeze your limes, fresh is really best, but if you must you'll need about ⅓ of a cup. More limes for a jazzier flavor. (I use 4 or 5)
Add olive oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, seasoned salt, and pepper. Chop parsley/cilantro and whisk in well. If available, use an immersion blender to mix well, pulse a few times or whisk well and divide evenly between 2 freezer ziplock baggies. If freezing bags, be sure to label before pouring into baggies.
Marinate chicken at least 30 minutes, preferably 60 minutes or longer before grilling. Squeeze air out of ziplock, lay flat in freezer. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before grilling. Remove from marinade, reserve.
Grill 6-8 minutes per side over medium-low heat, a minute or two longer if need be for darker meat (thighs). Baste with marinade while grilling (optional), leaves a lovely glaze on top.
Remove from grill, place on plate and cover with foil allowing to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Easily doubled for multiple freezer meals!
Notes
Double your batch, make one for tonight, freeze one with chicken for another day. Simply remove from freezer the night before and place in fridge, it will be thawed and marinated by grill time!
