Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
Protein
- 4 Chicken Leg Quarters
Spices and Flavours
- 1 tsp Paprika Powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Date Syrup
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 3 Limes - Squeezed
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Wash the Chicken Leg Quarters, then pat dry. Make three incisions alongside the top of the skin.
- Grill the chicken: Preheat the pan on medium-low heat. Add the Butter. Place the chicken on the pan with the skin side and cook for four minutes until brown. Sprinkle some salt on the side facing up, flip the chicken leg quarters. Grill the other side. Repeat three times for a total time of 12 minutes per side until the chicken leg quarters are cooked. Cover with a foil or a grill pan lid to prevent the butter from splashing onto the stove.
- Make the marinade: Squeeze the lime juice into a bowl. Add paprika powder and date syrup and mix well. Drizzle the marinade onto the chicken leg quarters, flip the chicken a few times to absorb the citrusy flavours. The heat of the grill pan will help the marinade penetrate the flesh of the chicken. Thereafter, rest for two minutes and serve.
