Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce (or tamari), lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and spices. Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Place chicken skin side up on the lined baking sheet, reserving some marinade for basting.
  4. Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, checking for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges and rice.

Notes

Marinate longer for more flavor, and always use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness. You can also save some marinade before marinating to use as a sauce after cooking.
