Zubereitung von Chef Allen's Red Hot Key Lime Chicken
- In a glass dish, marinate the chicken (see ingredients) in the key lime mojo for at least 1 hour (longer is better!).
- Preheat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan. Add chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Brown both sides for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Add the chopped onion (1 medium), minced garlic (2 cloves), grated ginger (1 tablespoon), finely chopped scotch bonnet pepper (1/2, or to taste), and the remaining marinade to the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, stirring occasionally. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Season generously with salt to taste and stir in the chopped cilantro (1/4 cup) before serving. Garnish with extra lime wedges if desired.
