Oven roasted chicken thighs with lime

This recipe is easy, but you need to marinate it in advance for the chicken to absorb more flavour.

Oven roasted chicken thighs with lime

Ingredients:

2 chicken thighs, with excess fat removed
3 to 4 tablespoons of light soya sauce
1.5 limes
Black pepper
Parsley

Instructions:

1) Put the chicken thighs into a mixing bowl and squeeze the lime juice onto the chicken. Add the soya sauce and some black pepper in, and mix it thoroughly. Put the bowl into the fridge for preferably 3 hours or more.
2) Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Use the 'bake' mode. After around 10 minutes, put the chicken thighs in (with any residual sauce) and leave it for 35 minutes.
3) Switch the oven to 'grill' mode. Monitor it carefully as although it makes the skin more golden brown and crispy, it could also get burnt more easily. Leave it for around 5 minutes or if the chicken skin starts to turn dark brown.
4) Transfer the chicken onto a plate, along with any residual sauce. Do not pour the sauce onto the skin as it will reduce the crispiness of the skin, especially if you are not going to eat it immediately.
5) Sprinkle some parsley on top, and serve.
