Sticky Chilli and Lime Butterflied Chicken

A super simple sticky citrus-y butterflied chicken. This recipe is cooked a bit slower than a normal butterflied chook, resulting in a really tender, pull apart texture.

Prep Time

10 mins + marinating time

Sticky Chilli and Lime Butterflied Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 butterflied chicken
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 limes worth of juice
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 4 heaped tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp 6 Eyed Scorpion Chilli Oil
  • Big lug of olive oil
  • Coriander to garnish

Method

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients and rub all over chicken, marinate for at least 3 hours or ideally overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 150C. Add chicken and any extra marinade to a lined baking tray, and bake for 1 hour. (If the sauce looks like it's evaporating too fast or may burn, add a little water into the tray).
  3. Bump oven up to 200C and bake for an additional 15 mins for a bit of extra colour on the skin.
  4. Allow the chook to rest for a little bit before serving. Brush with extra sauce from the baking tray and garnish with fresh coriander and extra wedges of lime.
