Simple Summer Chicken image

This is best made with organic chicken....the only chicken I serve to my family. The ones I buy are usually on the small side and cook more quickly than those plump monsters that are bought sealed in plastic. This is my classic kind of recipe - simple and tasty....the chicken is marinated AFTER cooking, rather than before. This is good served with steamed new potatoes, cole slaw and ice cold beer.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger

Steps:

  • Mix lime juice, olive oil, ginger, sugar and garlic in a large bowl; set aside.
