- Whisk the soy sauce, lime juice, sunflower oil, chilli, garlic, ginger, coriander, brown sugar and lime zest together in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Place the chicken into a resealable plastic bag, and pour in the marinade. Mix to coat chicken, then seal bag and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Place into pan, skin-side down, and cook until the skin crisps, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken over, and continue cooking on the other side until no longer pink in the centre. Once done, remove the chicken and keep warm. Pour the remaining marinade into a frying pan. Dissolve cornflour in water, and stir into the sauce until thickened and clear. Bring the mixture to the boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 5 minutes. Serve chicken with sauce.

Great flavours! Everyday ingredients. Chicken moist and juicy. Not too much heat from chilli - 04 Mar 2015
Too much lime for me - 27 Aug 2015
I made this tonight. It was good, but next time I would decrease the soy and add more lime juice. The meat was too salty and you couldn't taste the lime. I did not use the sunflower oil, did not have any and used boneless skinless chicken breasts. I will make this again, but with the changes. Thanks for a good recipe! - 05 Apr 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
