* The secret of this juicy and flavorful chicken is in the marinade with lime and chili.
* If you don't like the taste of coriander marinade, use chopped fresh parsley.
For best results: To use the remaining marinade as a sauce, boil 1 minute to kill bacteria that may have been transferred by the chicken.
