For best results, use a light-colored beer such as a lager or pilsner. Avoid darker beers, as they can overpower the flavor of the lime. Marinating the chicken for longer than 2 hours is not recommended, as the acidity of the lime can cause the chicken to become mushy. To ensure even cooking, use chicken breasts that are similar in size and thickness. Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
