How to Make Budget-Friendly Cilantro Lime Roasted Chicken
Cilantro and lime make a fresh and zesty flavor combination in this chicken dish. We start with a whole chicken and break it down into 2 breasts, 2 thighs, two drumsticks, and 2 wings. Butchers at grocery stores will usually break down a whole chicken for you, or you can purchase 2-3 of chicken pieces.
