“Ok so I haven't made every dish on the RecipeTin website but I've made quite a few - this is the best chicken recipe by far. Eg, I wasn't particularly enamored with the Go-To Chicken Breast recipe although I'd eat it again. The Lime Marinated Grilled Chicke” — a cook, 5.0★
“I thought this sounded nice and the reviews were good so I gave it a go - after 24 hours in the marinade there was an awful lot of liquid in the bag which didn’t give me much hope for a juicy, moist chicken breast but I was so very wrong! The chicken was packe” — a cook, 5.0★
