lime in place of lemon for chicken?

Question

bad idea?

btw this is for grilled chicken.
&&what else could i use for it.

Answer 1

I actually think the taste of lime is BETTER than that of a lemon...so go for it! You could also use it on seafood.

Answer 2

No that would be fine. There isn't much difference between the two except that the lime is more sour than the lemon. If you are still worried about using the lime then try using a orange or even mixing it with the lime to mellow out the sourness of the lime. This would add an even better flavor to the chicken.
