Broiled Chicken With Ginger and Lime
- 2 (3 1/2 lb) roasting chickens, cut into serving pieces
- 23 cup soy sauce
- 23 cup fresh lime juice (from about 4 limes)
- 14 cup vegetable oil
- 12 cup sugar
- 14 cup minced gingerroot (fresh ginger)
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 13 cup fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- crushed red pepper flakes
- 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.
