Description
Today I want to share a recipe of chicken, marinated with Basil and lime and baked in the same marinade. The chicken turns out very tender, juicy, flavorful and bright. Yes, in the truest sense of the word, Basil will color the meat in soft green color. If you are without prejudice and are willing to experiment, you here! Bon appetit!

Cooking
To prepare this chicken is simple and fast. In fact, you only need to slice the chicken and make the marinade. The rest will do the oven!
Cut the chicken into equal portions. Rinse well.
Make a marinade. In a blender grind the Basil, add the juice of one lime, honey. Add carbonated water.
Slice fresh fennel or use dried. I like fresh, it absorbs the marinade and Basil makes an excellent side dish-addition to the chicken.
Place the chicken in the marinade. Mix well, cover with film and leave in the fridge for a couple hours. There is time to relax, read...
Remove the hen. Mix again. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and place in oven. At 170 C for 40 minutes.
After this time remove the chicken, remove the foil and again put in the oven. 30 min. This will be enough. During this time, you will need to get the tray about a couple of times and turn browned pieces so they were on all sides was equally good.
That's all. The aroma is lovely! You only have to serve the dish and serve. I've got all of the marinade does not have time (usually)to evaporate. You can make the sauce based on the marinade, or serve the chicken without it.
Chicken little will be painted and will become a pale green color. But the most important is the taste. Juicy, tender, slightly sweet, lemon-Basil note.. Very tasty!
Bon appetit!
