Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds)
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- Juice of 2 limes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 lime cut into slices
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the whole chicken breast-side down on a cutting board.
- Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut along each side of the chicken’s backbone and remove it.
- Flip the chicken over and press down on the breastbone to flatten it. You can also ask your butcher to do this for you.
- In a bowl, combine coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, SF maple syrup, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Place the flattened chicken in a skillet. (Why dirty another dish?)
- Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Add fish lime slices on top of the chicken.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the chicken with some of the reserved marinade.
- Roast in the oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Baste the chicken with the remaining marinade every 15 minutes for a flavorful glaze.
- Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before carving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Slice and serve the flattened coconut lime chicken with your favorite side dishes.
