Mango Lime Chicken
There is something about the fresh flavours of lime and mango that makes them go so well together. They certainly make a great marinade. These super delicious mango lime chicken drumsticks can be marinated overnight or used straight away. Instead of drumsticks, you can also use a baby chicken. The time to cook a whole baby chicken is about 35-40 minutes on the BBQ.
Recipe Tester Feedback: "A different kind of marinade using fruit and honey. You can leave the chicken to marinate then cook on the BBQ or even an oven grill, meaning you can feel like you are camping out at home." - Gail
