You know you’re in for something REALLY tasty if you need to climb a scorching volcano and risk your life fighting a mighty bird in its own nest to fetch the right ingredients. (Or, just buy them in Lestallum. Easy peasy. Lime squeezy.)
Active cooking time: 30 mins. Total cooking time: 2+ hours. Serves 2
Ingredients
1 lime, both zest and juice
a handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped.
½ tsp garlic powder (1.5g) or 1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp paprika (2.5g), or chili powder for extra spice
1 tsp honey (5mL)
2 tbsp vegetable/sunflower oil (30mL)
2 chicken breasts or thighs
1 egg
1 cup of breadcrumbs or panko (108g)
wooden skewers, soaked 30+ minutes
With a zester or a grater, zest the lime and collect the zest into a bowl. Juice the lime and add it to the zest.
Add the chopped coriander to the lime mixture. Add the garlic, paprika powder, honey, and oil, and stir.
Place your chicken in the marinade and make sure to flip it around in the bowl to cover all sides with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 1.5 hours. You can also leave it overnight. Time to play the waiting game. Or King’s Knight. Preferably with your bros.
Be sure to preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C) or you’ll have to play another round of the waiting game. Lightly beat an egg in a separate bowl and cover a plate in breadcrumbs.
Skewer each piece of marinated chicken, dip them into the beaten egg and then coat them in breadcrumbs.
Cover a baking sheet with some parchment paper. Lightly coat the paper with some vegetable oil and place the skewers on top. Drizzle a little bit of oil over the skewers too.
Bake the skewers for about 25 minutes. Make sure to flip the skewers over midway through, so both sides bake evenly. Serve with your favourite sauce or enjoy them as they are!
