Citrus Explosion Grilled Chicken Marinade

This easy to make chicken marinade recipe packs a real punch of fresh lemon and lime flavors into grilled chicken, pork or fish.

Try this marinade with this Citrus Infused lemon chicken recipe.

If you can, squeeze your own fresh lemon and lime juice, the results are really a lot better.

Combine that with freshly grated ginger, garlic and lemon zest and your chicken or fish will absorb so much flavor you'll know why I call this a citrus explosion!

If you're using this for fish you'll only need to let it sit a half hour or so, any longer and you'll actually start to cook the fish in the acidic marinade.
