02 — Equipment

1 covered grill (or a 35 × 25 cm / 14 × 10 in baking dish)

1 bowl (24 cm / 9½ in) for the marinade

1 pastry brush (4 cm / 1½ in wide)

03 — Method

Lightly score the chicken skin and put in a bowl with all the aromatics and the lime juice.
Massage the marinade into the chicken for 2 minutes, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, ideally overnight.
Set up a covered grill for medium indirect heat, or preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Drain the chicken, keeping the marinade, and cook skin side up, lid closed, for 35 minutes, basting with marinade every 10 minutes.
Turn the chicken for the last 10 minutes to crisp the skin over direct heat.
Check that the juices run clear near the bone, then serve hot with a squeeze of lime, white rice and red beans.
