This recipe smells so wonderful as it cooks. Serve it with hot cooked rice to soak up the sauce.
Ingredients:
- 6 chicken thighs
- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 2 stalks lemon grass, pounded
- 2 hot red chilies, seeded and chopped
- 3" piece ginger root, peeled and minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. white pepper
Preparation:
Place chicken pieces, skin side up, in baking dish. Cut several slashes across each piece with a sharp knife, cutting through the skin into the flesh.
In small bowl, combine lime juice, lemon grass, chilies, ginger, onion, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper and mix well to blend. Pour this mixture over chicken, making sure some of the mixture settles into the slits cut into the chicken. Cover and marinate for 1-8 hours.
When ready to eat, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pan in oven and roast for 35-50 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Serves 4-6
