THYME AND LIME CHICKEN

Steps:
- Place chicken thighs in an ovenproof dish or on a platter, skin-side down. With a very sharp knife, slit the thighs lengthwise along the thigh bone of each thigh. Mix the scallion with a little salt and pepper and press the mixture into the slits.
- In a small bowl mix together the thyme, garlic, lime or lemon juice and all but 2 tablespoons of the butter. Spoon over each chicken thigh.
- Spoon the remaining butter over the top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F Remove plastic wrap from the chicken and cover the dish with foil. Bake chicken for 1 hour, then remove the foil and cook for a few minutes to brown. Serve hot, with rice and garnish with lime slices and cilantro sprigs.
