Recipes > Zingy Chicken (That's what I call it anyway!)
Serves: 4 Time: 1 hour Plus: Some caring marinating time
You Need:
Ingredients
* 900g chicken drumsticks and thighs * Juice and finely grated zest of 2 limes * 6tbsp dark soy sauce * 2tbsp soft brown sugar * 1tsp ground coriander * 2cm piece root ginger, peeled and grated (or Lazy Ginger) * 1 clove garlic, crushed (or Lazy Garlic) * 1 tbsp of Very Lazy Chillies (A MUST) * 4tbsp sunflower oil * To make the salsa: * 2 ripe avocados, peeled, stoned and chopped into small pieces * Juice of 1 lime * 1 small red onion, chopped * 4 tomatoes, deseeded and diced
1 Make 2 or 3 deep cuts in the skin and flesh of each chicken drumstick or thigh. Cut off any excess pieces of skin or fat - you want to leave enough skin to cover each piece. Put the chicken in an ovenproof dish in a single layer.
2 Mix together the lime juice, zest, soy sauce, brown sugar, coriander, VL ginger, VL garlic, VL chilli and oil. Pour the marinade over the chicken, turning the pieces so that they are completely coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hour, turning occasionally.
3 Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5. Remove the clingfilm and cook the chicken, skin side up, for 20 minutes. Drain off and discard the liquid. Increase the temperature to 200C/Gas 6 and cook for 15 minutes more.
4 To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Serve with the chicken and a few lime wedges.
