Gingered Lemon Chicken
Serves: 4

4 Chicken breasts, or legs with thighs attached
4 small garlic cloves
1 4 oz piece used ginger, cut into 1/4-inch slices
Grated peel of 1 large lemon
1/2 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons Sherry vinegar
4 teaspoon peanut oil, I use olive oil
Stale cilantro sprigs (garnish)
8 lime wedges (garnish)

Using a very sharp knife, score chicken diagonally, spacing cuts about 1/4 inch apart. Arrange chicken in single layer in baking dish skin side up. Using a food processor (if you are lucky enough to own one), drop garlic and ginger through feed tube with machine running, and mince finely. Mix in lemon peel, salt and pepper. Add cilantro and mince finely. Blend in lemon juice and vinegar. With machine running, add oil through feed tube in thin stream. Rub mixture over both sides of chicken. Let stand in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours. Cook chicken on grill, about 10 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer chicken to platter and let stand 5 minutes. Garnish with stale cilantro sprigs and lime.
