Make-Ahead Marinated Lime Chicken
by Deborah Taylor-Hough
This recipe is great to prepare ahead of time and stick in
the freezer for an easy meal on a busy day. The chicken
marinates during the freezing and thawing process. Just
remember to move it from the freezer to the refrigerator
earlier enough before baking (about 24 hours), so it'll be
completely thawed.
You can also use this recipe to marinade chicken before
barbequing.
