Ginger-Lime Marinade for Chicken
"This marinade gives the chicken a fresh flavor. Easy to make and quick. Don't over cook the chicken but make sure it is done.The recipe makes 3/4 cup of marinade enough for 6 breasts or whole legs or 12 thighs/drumsticks. When you grate or zest the lime use the whole lime peel"

I used this marinade for 4 large thighs (bone in)and then baked them for approx an hour, it really is delicious, the chicken was very moist and the flavours worked really well together. Thanks for yet another fabulous recipe Bergy! -
I made this for a summer cookout and all of the guests really liked it. The chicken was very moist and juicy and the flavor was great. I will definitly use this alot. Thanks! -
I mixed the marinade and pour it in a ziplock bad with 7 drumsticks. Threw it in the freezer. Today, I took it out, baked it at 375 for 45 minutes. Incredible chicken, moist, tender and tastes great without being too overpowering by the soy sauce flavor. Keeper file for me. -
Good flavor. Next time I'm going to double the marinade though. I also like to put more lime juice on the chicken once it comes off grill. -
I made this for a family bbq a couple nights ago. The recipe was very easy to put together. I made kabobs with chunks of onion, green pepper & red pepper & everyone has requested the recipe. I'll post photos when I get home & can upload them. Thanks for posting, Bergy! Update: Made this recipe again & used it on thin strips of pork tenderloin. Excellent! The pork was extremely tender & moist.

This was really good - tasty but not too overpowering. We marinated chicken thighs in this for a bit more than two hours, and then grilled them for about 40 minutes. We substituted half the vegetable oil with sesame oil. We also didn't have a blender, so we whisked the mixture instead to combine it.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
