coconut lime chicken Ingredients
– Chicken drumstick: I use about 2 chicken drumstick per person, but you can use as many as you want. This recipe is scalable.
– Butter: Salted butter is what I like to use to add more flavor. However, if you only have unsalted butter that is fine.
– Garlic: You’ll need about 2 cloves of minced garlic for this recipe.
– Coconut milk: Make sure you get the full fat version of coconut milk.
– Limes: 2 limes should do the trick; I’m going for a nice and tangy lime flavor here.
– Pepper flakes: A pinch or two should do the trick; this will give your chicken a nice kick. Feel free to add more if you like your food a tad bit more spicy.
– Salt and pepper: Salt and pepper to taste
