Fabulous zesty lime, chilli, coriander and oregano cachaca marinated chargrilled chicken, great served on its own with a simple salad and drizzle of lime mayonnaise or stuffed into a flat bread and topped with fresh chillies, garlic, onion salad and a lime mayo drizzle.
Prep time 5 minutes / Marinate time 30 minutes / Cook time 7 minutes
Ingredients
(serves 2)
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
100 ml cachaca
1 clove garlic finely chopped
Small bunch coriander chopped
2 tbsp fresh oregano finely chopped
2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped
Sea salt
Black pepper
1 red chilli finely chopped
1/2 lime juiced
To Serve
Flat breads
Green salad
Sliced onions
1/2 lime juiced
Mayonnaise
Place the chicken in a bowl, season with the salt and pepper, chilli, garlic, oregano, parsley and coriander rubbing all over the chicken. Pour over the cachaca and lime juice and leave to marinate for a minimum of thirty minutes, or up to 24hrs if you want to do this the day before.
Pre heat your grill to a high heat, take your skewers and spear the marinated chicken, place the skewered chicken under the grill to cook for approx 3-4 minutes each side, until just cooked through, when you lightly press the chicken it should feel bouncy firm. Leave to rest for a couple of minutes while you assemble either your salad or the flat bread, this is also a great meal to serve family style piled high with bowls of salad and dips on the side so you can all dive in at the table!
