  3. Preheat grill to medium heat (350°F to 400°F) for about 15 minutes, ensuring the grates are clean.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, placing it on the grill without moving for about 10 minutes. Flip halfway through.
  5. After 10 minutes, flip the chicken, spoon reserved marinade on top, and grill for another 10 minutes until cooked to 165°F.
  6. While chicken is grilling, pour reserved marinade into a saucepan, add water, and boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Grill halved limes cut side down for about 2-3 minutes until charred.
  8. Remove chicken from grill, let rest, then serve garnished with cilantro and grilled lime halves.
