Steps:
- First, spatchcock the chicken so that it will sit flat on the barbecue. All this means is using a pair of kitchen scissors or a sharp kitchen knife to cut down either side of the parson's nose to completely remove the backbone. Then, place the chicken, breast side up, on a chopping board and push down hard to flatten with your hands. Use a sharp knife to make lots of deep slashes in the chicken, about three in each breast and two in each leg.
- In a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic and peppercorns together to a grey, mushy paste. Stir the lime juice into the paste, then the chopped coriander. Put the chicken in a dish and massage the marinade into the chicken. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight.
- To cook the chicken, fire up the barbecue. When the flames die down and the coals are hot and glowing, lay the chicken on the barbecue, skin side up, and sprinkle with salt. You will be tempted to keep prodding it and lifting it up, but leave it alone. After 25 mins, the chicken will look like it's cooked through, but flip it over and give the skin side 10 mins to brown. Lift the chicken onto a chopping board and leave to rest for a few minutes.
- You can now carve conventionally but I like to get a cleaver and chop it straight down into thick slices. Pile it up on a platter and serve scattered with fresh coriander and lime wedges.

LIME AND CORIANDER MARINATED CHICKEN
We have one of those electric table-top grills which we often get out for informal parties. It means you can put out a selection of different types of meats and people can cook it the way they like it. It's sociable and fun, and easy with a couple of side dishes of salad, potatoes, pasta, rice, or whatever you fancy. I made this marinade up yesterday to jazz up the chicken breasts I had, and it was delish. Lovely and moist with a nice flavour.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a 30cm shallow casserole dish or high-sided frying pan. Fry the chicken thighs, skin-side down, just to get some colour on them (they will take on a deeper colour in the oven). Transfer them to another dish. Fry the onion in the pan until soft and pale gold. Add the garlic, spices and chillies. Cook for 2 mins more, then stir in the squash, cauliflower, rice, half the coriander, the lime zest, half the lime juice, the lime leaves and some seasoning. Put the chicken back in the pan, this time skin-side up, and season that as well.
- Heat the coconut milk and the chicken stock together until just below boiling point. Pour this around the chicken and put the pan in the oven, uncovered. Cook for 40 mins, or until the chicken is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Squeeze over the remaining lime and scatter with the rest of the coriander. You could gently push the coriander into the rice, so it's not all on top. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients for the marinade. Limes and coriander are essential for creating the authentic flavor of this dish.
- Score the chicken thighs before marinating. This will help the marinade penetrate the chicken and result in a more flavorful dish.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This lime and coriander marinated chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the marinade gives it a bright and zesty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
