Tip
Make extra for lunchDouble the recipe, adding 8 chicken drumsticks instead of extra thighs, and make enough for your family's lunchboxes the next day.
Method
Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken in a large bowl with the lime zest and juice, curry powder, chilli powder, if using, and seasoning. Mix well, then toss in the coconut. Place chicken on a rack sitting in a roasting tin, drizzle with the oil, then bake for 25 mins until cooked through and tender. Serve with mango chutney, lime wedges for squeezing over and rice, if you like.
