GINGER-LIME CHICKEN



Ginger-Lime Chicken image

Though this may look like regular old chicken, don't be fooled: It's buzzing with the bright flavors of ginger and lime. Mayonnaise is the secret ingredient in this recipe, which is a trick J. Kenji López-Alt has written about. When slathered on boneless chicken and cooked, the beloved condiment carries flavor, sticks to the meat well, encourages browning and prevents the pieces of lime zest and ginger - or whatever seasonings you choose - from burning. Try this technique first with ginger and lime zest, then experiment with grated garlic, jalapeño, lemon, Parmesan and whatever else you can imagine. Serve with a pile of white rice and a fresh green salad topped with thinly sliced avocado.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes), plus lime wedges, for serving
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece of peeled ginger)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lime zest and ginger; season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and stir to coat. (The chicken can sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Let come to room temperature before cooking.)
  • To grill: Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill the chicken over direct heat until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts, turning as necessary to avoid burning.
  • To cook in a skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Cook the chicken until juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side for thighs and about 4 minutes per side for breasts.
  • Serve chicken with lime wedges, for squeezing on top.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh limes or lemons: The fresher the citrus, the more flavorful your mayonnaise will be.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise: A good quality mayonnaise will have a smooth, creamy texture and a rich flavor.
  • Add the citrus juice and zest gradually: Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can always add more, but you can't take it out.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
  • Make ahead of time: Lime or lemon mayonnaise can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Lime or lemon mayonnaise is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for sandwiches, salads, wraps, and even as a dipping sauce. With its fresh, tangy flavor, lime or lemon mayonnaise is sure to brighten up any dish. So next time you're looking for a new way to add flavor to your food, give lime or lemon mayonnaise a try.
