Chilli Plum Lime Chicken Lovely Legs
Beautiful fresh flavours, easy to make and completely delicious... this is going to be a new family favourite. Using the plums for the sweetness in the sauce, you won't believe that this doesn't have any refined sugar. So much better than a marinade from a jar! Check out the bottom of the recipe for handy freezer tips.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "This is a great change from the traditional chicken drumstick marinades. So fresh and vibrant with the chilli and kaffir lime. Sticky and delicious!" - Kylie
