Tip
The chicken will need at least four hours to marinate, so be sure to get a head start. You’ll combine the zest and juice from two limes with ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and coconut milk to make the marinade. Then, while the chicken is roasting, prepare your accompaniments, like cooked jasmine rice, shredded carrot, chopped peanuts, cilantro leaves, sliced shallots, and lime wedges.
