Grilled Spicy-Citrus Chicken with Corn


Yes, more chicken. I've really cut down on my red meat. And I've been told I shouldn't eat much pork. So chicken has been my go-to meat on the grill. But what I've learned is that it's difficult to get tired of it if you keep finding new ways to make it. This meal was outstanding.

The chicken had a great flavor. Personally, I'd prefer a little more heat. Next time, I'll be cranking up the amount of hot pepper sauce and crushed red pepper in the marinade—perhaps by up to one-third. What really attracted me to this recipe (found on www.epicurious.com), however, was the notion of marinating corn. I had never heard of it before, so figured I'd give it a shot. The result was the tastiest corn I've ever had. At a friend's suggestion, I added some red pepper sauce (Frank's Red Hot) just before eating. Outstanding.

Let me know what you think.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp hot pepper sauce
  • 2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 8 chicken breasts
  • 8 ears of corn, husked

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Corn on the Cob is a trademark of the summer season. And there's no better way to prepare it on a hot summer night than on the grill. This is a technique that I learned from my friend Robyn at Simply Fresh Dinners, and it's sure to give you the sweetest, tastiest corn that you've ever eaten.
