Lime Chicken with Mint

Lime Chicken with Mint

serves 4

It seemed to be the perfect night for a barbecue, I had the chicken marinating, the salad was made all I had to do was steam some baby potatoes. But within 5 minutes we were hit with a sand storm, that had blown in from Saudi, anyone who lives in the Middle East knows that you secure all doors and windows, and going outside is not an option. Therefore plan B, I would have to grill the chicken inside, it was actually tender and moist and had a slight crust from the grill.

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves crushed
2 tbs finely chopped mint
1 tbs chopped oregano
2 tbs honey
juice 1 lime (about 5 tbs )
salt and pepper
8 large chicken thighs
Sauce
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tbs chopped mint
2tbs lime juice
salt and pepper to season

Method

Mix all the ingredients except those for the sauce together, add the chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.
Place the chicken on a oven rack and grill for 15-20 minutes ( alternatively barbecue ).
While the chicken is cooking prepare the sauce.
