Lately I have been buying whole chickens and been butchering them myself. It's really quite straight forward and definitely more economical. This way everyone gets their favourite part of the chicken too. I leave bone in, it is so much juicier, particularly when barbecuing. This is again a simple dish to prepare. The ingredients for the marinade/sauce get mixed into a bowl, put your chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag and let it sit for 40 minutes to 3 hours.
For the marinade..
2-3 tbsp of grape seed oil or coconut oil
1 cup of full fat canned coconut milk (my favourite brand is Aroy-D)
3 tbsp of honey
1 large lime, juice and ze
st
2 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tsp of cumin
2 tsp of curry powder
1 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper (optional)
11/2- 2lbs of chicken of your choice
lime and cilantro for garnish
Let's put it together.
Once you put the chicken on the grill or pan. Pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan.
Bring to a full boil and boil for 4-5 min, reduce to a simmer and cook for an additional 3-5 min.
If you don't feel comfortable with this step just double the marinate and use half for the marinade and the other half for the sauce.
