Instructions
Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 4. Turn the chicken a few times to keep it from burning.
Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.
Notes
To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.You can use chicken breasts, chicken thighs or boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. You'll just need to adjust cooking times.
