Coriander Lime Grilled Chicken Legs Food

LIME & CORIANDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• First, spatchcock the chicken so that it will sit flat on the barbecue. All this means is using a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp kitchen knife to cut down either side of the parson's nose to completely remove the backbone. Then, place the chicken, breast side up, on a chopping board and push down hard to flatten with your hands. Use a sharp knife to make lots of deep slashes in the chicken, about three in each breast and two in each leg.
• In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and peppercorns together to a grey, mushy paste. Stir the lime juice into the paste, then the chopped coriander. Put the chicken in a dish and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
• To cook the chicken, fire up the barbecue. When the flames die down and the coals are hot and glowing, lay the chicken on the barbecue, skin side up, and sprinkle with salt. You will be tempted to keep prodding it and lifting it up, but leave it alone. After 25 mins, the chicken will look like it's cooked through, but flip it over and give the skin side 10 mins to brown. Lift the chicken onto a chopping board and leave to rest for a few minutes.
• You can now carve conventionally but I like to get a cleaver and chop it straight down into thick slices. Pile it up on a platter and serve scattered with fresh coriander and lime wedges.

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine cilantro, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and cilantro mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium high heat.* Working in batches, add chicken to the grill pan in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.

GRILLED LEMON-CORIANDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Purée cilantro, oil, shallots, garlic, lemon zest and juice, chile, coriander, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until it forms a paste. Leave any fat in opening of chicken cavity and sprinkle cavity with pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Starting at cavity end, gently slide an index finger between skin and flesh of breast and legs to loosen skin (be careful not to tear skin). Using a small spoon, slide cilantro purée under skin over breast and drumsticks, using your finger on outside of skin to push purée out of spoon and distribute evenly. Tie legs together with kitchen string and tuck wing tips under. Brush outside of chicken all over with butter.
• Prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas); see "Grilling Procedure< >."
• To cook chicken using a charcoal grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then put chicken on rack with no coals directly underneath and cook, covered with lid, until thermometer inserted into fleshy part of thigh (do not touch bone) registers 170°F, 40 to 50 minutes. (Add more briquettes during grilling if necessary to maintain heat.) Transfer chicken to a platter and let stand 15 minutes.
• To cook chicken using a gas grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then put chicken above shut-off burner. Grill, covered with lid, turning chicken 180 degrees halfway through cooking if using a 2-burner grill, until thermometer inserted into fleshy part of thigh (do not touch bone) registers 170°F, 35 to 45 minutes.

HONEY AND LIME CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Mix the honey with the coriander (cilantro) and stir in the lime zest and juice.
• Add the chicken drumsticks and mix well, cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Heat the grill (broiler).
• Grill (broil) the chicken drumsticks, turning and brushing frequently with the marinade for about 25 minutes or until cooked through (to check, pierce the drumsticks at its thickest part, next to the bone, the juices should run clear), timing could depend on size of drumsticks too.

CORRIANDER CHICKEN

• Combine the garlic with the yogurt and pour over the chicken, leave to marinate over night.
• Heat the oil in a pot and saute the onions until golden brown then remove the onion from the pot, set aside

LIME AND CORIANDER MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces (I prefer strips like goujons rather than cubes).
• In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together and add the chicken.
• Leave to stand for at least one hour, stirring occasionally.
• Heat your grill and cook each piece for a couple of minutes, until cooked through.

CORIANDER LIME GRILLED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Put the lime juice, zest, coriander, cilantro, scallion and honey in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. With the processor running, add the olive oil in a steady stream. Turn the motor off and add the salt and pepper. Pulse to combine. Pour the mixture into a nonreactive bowl and add the chicken legs to it. Toss to coat well and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place a 10-inch cast iron grill pan over high heat for 3 minutes. Put 4 of the chicken legs into the pan and grill 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the juice runs clear if speared with a knife. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken. Allow to cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to use.

LIME AND CORIANDER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Remove the skin from the chicken and set this aside for now. Cover a chopping board with cling film, though do not cut off the piece from the roll quite yet, and sit the chicken breasts on top, with space between them, then cover with more cling film and tear off from the roll. Using a rolling pin, press down on the meatier parts of the fillets, rolling them out a little, until each chicken breast is, as much as possible, of even thickness, though it's always going to be a little thinner at the tip. The idea is not to bash the chicken until it's a limp rag. Put the lime zest in a small bowl, cover with cling film and set aside. Unwrap and transfer the chicken breasts to a reusable freezer bag, or a shallow dish or container in which they will fit snugly, then add the lime juice along with the oil, sea salt flakes and garlic. Seal the bag well, give it a bit of a squidge to help it coat the chicken and leave to marinate, out of the fridge, for 15 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, you can be frying the chicken skins (see recipe introduction). When time's up on the marinade, heat the 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Take the chicken out of the bag or dish and shake off the marinade before frying over a medium-high heat for 2 minutes each side, then turn again and give an extra minute on each side, so that the chicken is bronzed on the outside and cooked through. Remove to a couple of waiting plates. Mix the lime zest and chopped coriander together and sprinkle on top. Serve, ideally, with the iceberg lettuce and chicken crackling and a splodge of avocado mashed with sea salt and chilli flakes.

HONEYED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Arrange chicken in an oiled baking dish and surround with the carrots, onion and orange. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with the herbes de Provence and seasoned salt.
• In a small bowl combine the honey and mustard and brush the mixture over the chicken. Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with the oil and sprinkle with hot pepper sauce. Bake, covered with foil, basting occasionally, for 45 minutes. Uncover, add zucchini, and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until juices from chicken run clear and vegetables are tender. If desired, run under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat until golden.
