Mexican Lime Chicken



 I love Mexican food and anything with citrus in it so this recipe is a favorite of mine.  I marinated the chicken for a good 24 hours before cooking and it turned out delicious – it has a slight kick to it but it isn’t hot.

Ingredients:
6 x Chicken Pieces
4 x Tablespoons olive oil
2 x teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
2 x teaspoon lime zest, grated
1 x teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon muscovado sugar
1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
2 fresh chillis, chopped
1 lime

Method:
Mix the olive oil, coriander seeds, lime zest, paprika and sugar together.
Spoon the mixture over the chicken and leave to marinate overnight.
Roast the chicken in a preheated oven (190C/fan) for about 30/35 mins.
