Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake.
2. Sauce: Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl.
3. To cook: Place the chicken in a roasting dish and pour over ¾ of the sauce making sure the chicken is fully coated in the sauce. Bake in the oven for 1 hour, basting with the remaining sauce every 20 minutes. After an hour, remove and test for doneness, then rest for 10 minutes before carving.
4. Rice: While the chicken cooks, place the rice, coconut cream and water in a saucepan on a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Remove from the heat, let it rest for 5 minutes then fluff the rice and stir in the lime zest just before serving.
To serve:
Divide the rice between 4 serving plates, portion up the chicken and garnish with coriander if desired
