Instructions
- Add the chicken to a bowl together with seasonings, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Marinate for 3-6 hours (ideally) or if in a rush - 1 hour. For better results pound the chicken first.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil, and once hot add the chicken and cook for 6 minutes, then flip and cook another 6-8 minutes until done. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer, it should register 165 F.

Notes
Flavor: you can taste flavors of cumin, and little lime, with added smokiness and heat from chili and cayenne. Kids can eat! If you want to make it hot, double the amount of chili & cayenne. Chicken should have charred nicely and crispy on the outside with a juicy and tender inside.
