Coconut, Coriander and Lime BBQ Chicken Thighs

This is a fab recipe for Coconut, Coriander and Lime BBQ Chicken thighs.  I love using chicken thighs as not only are they more economical than chicken breasts, I personally think they are tastier and more juicy when cooked – especially over a barbecue.  I leave the skin on for a lovely crisp and flavoursome finish.  Chicken is so versatile, like this chicken tikka recipe.

Tip: Unless it is a warm day, the Coconut Oil will not be liquid.  It soon melts with the warmth from your hands, so I would recommend mixing the ingredients and applying them to the chicken by hand.  You’ll get a much more even coverage this way.

When cooked, add some more torn Coriander and a squeeze of lime to serve.  I think this dish would work well with some lovely buttery new potatoes and corn on the cob.
