I know this is picture may be a little more on the "less than appetizing" side, but believe me, this is some of the most flavorful chicken I have ever had. It gets a special punch of flavor from lime juice, ginger, garlic and curry powder, and to me, you can't go wrong with that combination. I have had this recipe marked in my Every Day Food cookbook for a while now and finally got around to making it...too many recipes but too little time. Besides, there are only two of us in our home right now, and we can only eat so much! Anyway, you should give this recipe a try. It is a great change from your ordinary everyday chicken. I served this with a light couscous salad, grilled pita bread and a salad.
Ginger and Lime Grilled Chicken
1 Tbsp. Finely grated peeled ginger
1 clove garlic, minced or grated (not in the original recipe but I had to add it)
2 tsp. curry powder
4 scallions, minced (I didn't have any so I didn't use)
Coarse ground salt and pepper
8 bone in skin on chicken thighs (I used bonelees skinless chicken breast)
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
Heat broiler with rack set 4 inches from the heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients besides chicken. Arrange the chicken on the bakaing sheet and season with salt and pepper. Pour the wet mixture over the chickne and rub it in. Make sure to rub under the skin if using chicken thighs. Broil for about 5-7 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and the meat is tender but no longer pink. Serve chicken with pan juices.
