Key Lime Chicken Recipe

	Notyourmomma / All my dishes 2 years, 1 month ago I love lemon chicken and when we had a surplus of limes, we juiced them and added the molasses and ginger to make a marinade. I like a good long soak for the thighs at least overnight, breasts won't take as long perhaps eight hours. Prep:780m Cook:85m Servings:4	Notyourmomm

Ingredients

1 cup fresh Lime Juice - I used regular persian limes, not real key limes it would take an eternity to juice those tiny things

1 1/2 teaspoon Splenda

1 teaspoon molasses

2/3 cup Water

2 teaspoons Salt

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

1 teaspoon Thyme or six sprigs of fresh thyme (my favorite)

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 Tablespoon Fresh Ginger, peeled and chopped

3 pounds Chicken pieces *thighs are terrific this way* and more economical than the boneless skinless boring breasts

Directions

In a bowl or blender mix all ingredients (except chicken) until well blended. This will create a marinade.

Pour marinade over chicken pieces. Allow to stand in marinade in the refrigerator overnight.

Preheat oven at 350°F. Drain and reserve marinade.

Place chicken in baking dish.

Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes, basting with marinade every 20 minutes.

This sounds just wonderful. If I don't bake a whole chicken, it's baked thighs! Thighs are so tasty, and they are our favorite piece of chicken. Fresh thyme just goes with chicken. I am so glad that you posted this recipe! Thanks so much. :)

Great post! Strange how we all go for Lemon Chicken (or Orange..) but never for Lime !! This sounds delicious! Thank you, NYM!

This sounds like it has a nice "zing", lots of flavor, and not bad on the fat content either - another keeper from you!

Question- what would happen if you cooked the chicken right in the marinade? Maybe serve it over rice with roasted gengered carrots? PS-kudos on the proper use of marinade.
