- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

- Remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra lime wedges and serve.
Notes
You can adjust the amount of chili powder to make the dish more or less spicy according to your preference. Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
