I'd made the "Latin Style Fried Chicken" recipe from latin d'lite by Ingrid Hoffman once before, but I'd used lemon instead of lime since I didn't have limes and I didn't want to go to the grocery store. I wasn't particularly fond of the results. The dish wasn't bad, but it did taste quite "lemony".
Mike blamed this on the lemons. He said that limes have a much lighter flavor and thought this recipe would have come out much better if I'd used limes. I think I also used boneless skinless chicken thighs last time as well.
This time, I used limes, as per the recipe directions. I also used chicken thighs that had bones and skin on them. However, I did bake them instead of deep frying them, since baking chicken is slightly more healthy and I don't really like to deep fry.
Unfortunately, the chickens came out tasting very strongly of lime. It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste at all like fried chicken. It just tasted like lime chicken. Luckily, I'd only made two pieces, though they were quite large chicken thighs.
