Pin This RecipeThis Sweet & Smoky Grilled Taco Grilled Chicken is a new favorite! Only 3 ingredients and no long marinating required! You can marinate the chicken overnight, but it isn’t necessary. Just rub the chicken with the seasoning and throw on the grill. I will tell you that I usually make this chicken before I go to bed at night and let it sit in the fridge overnight. I just find it easier to prep lunch or dinner the night before. BUT like I said, this is fine to just season and grill immediately.
This Sweet and Smoky Grilled Taco Chicken was a huge hit in our house. It had tons of great flavor and was super easy to make. We grilled extra chicken for leftovers. I had the leftovers in a wrap and topped it with salsa. O-M-G! I told Chicken Legs I might have liked the chicken in the wrap better than just plain. Seriously delicious!!
We actually loved this so much that we are making it again next week! We just can’t seem to get enough of this yummy Mexican chicken! I am dreaming of the delicious chicken wraps and salads now!
