Ingredients: Remember when it comes to marinating, longer is better. This chicken can be marinated 1-24 hours. I usually prep it a day ahead, or the morning I plan to serve it; 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil; 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice; 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 2 teaspoons chili powder; 1 teaspoon sweet paprika; 2 teaspoons onion powder; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (1/4 tsp=mild, 1/2 tsp=med, use as much as you want for hot!); 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, or a combination of the two, cut into 1 1/2" chunks; sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste; chopped cilantro; your choice of small green or red hot chili pepper sliced, or red pepper flakes; lime wedges for squeezing over chicken
