Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons - finely chopped fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1 tablespoons - lime zest
- 2 tablespoons - lime juice
- 1 teaspoons - ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons - salt
- 1/2 teaspoons - ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons - freshly grated nutmeg OR ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoons - cayenne pepper
- 12 - small skinless bone-in chicken thighs OR skinless tenderloins
- 1/4 cups - finely chopped green onions or scallions
Directions:
Pat chicken pieces until dry and place them skin side up on a foil-covered pan.
Mix together the green onions or scallions, ginger, oil, lime zest and juice, cinnamon, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne. Spread on the chicken pieces, cover them, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours (or place chicken pieces in plastic ziploc bag with marinade ingredients and mix to cover chicken thoroughly before placing in fridge).
When ready to cook, line a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat lightly with cooking spray. Preheat broiler to high heat.
Broil the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 165 degrees F, about 15 to 25 minutes depending on the type and size of chicken pieces.
