Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken
Recipe video above. This lime marinade has a beautiful depth of flavour and really infuses the chicken with lime flavours! Touch of sugar caramelises the chicken, and depth of flavour is achieved by using soy or fish sauce instead of salt (it doesn't taste Asiany at all, I swear!). Stove or BBQ best, but can also bake!
