ingredients

2 (3 1/2 lb) roasting chickens, cut into serving pieces
Marinade
²⁄₃ cup soy sauce
²⁄₃ cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
¹⁄₄ cup vegetable oil
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
¹⁄₄ cup minced gingerroot (fresh ginger)
2 garlic cloves, smashed
Dipping Sauce
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¹⁄₃ cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
crushed red pepper flakes

directions

For the marinade: Whisk the soy, lime juice, oil, sugar, ginger, and garlic together in a small bowl. Pack the chicken pieces into a large sealable plastic bag and pour inthe marinade. Close the bag and let the chicken marinate on the counter for 1 hour. (My note--this is counter to common food safety practices, so I would suggest not leaving it out longer than that!).
Position a rack near the middle of the oven so the chicken will be about 8 inches from the heating element, and heat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking sheet--skin up and thicker pieces in the middle of the pan--and slide the pan under the broiler.
Broil for 10 minutes. Turn the pieces over and broil for another 10 minutes, or until done (juices run clear when pierced with a fork).
Meanwhile, for the dipping sauce: Melt the butter in a small skillet or saucepan over low heat. Add the lime juice and a big pinch of crushed red pepper.
Roll the chicken pieces in the lime butter. Transfer to a platter and serve.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
