Lemon-Herb Chicken Infused with Citrus Flavors

Features:
    Cuisine:

    For the Zesty Citrus Chicken that calls to zest 6 limes and then "reserve" 2 Tablespoons of the rind, what are we supposed to do with the rest of the zest? The only instruction for using the zest says to combine it with the brown sugar, but I am unsure if that is the 2 Tablespoons or the remaining pile of zest.

    Zesty Citrus Chicken, From Cooking Light – Love lemon and lime!!, For the Zesty Citrus Chicken that calls to zest 6 limes and then reserve 2 Tablespoons of the rind, what are we supposed to do with the rest of the zest? The only instruction for using the zest says to combine it with the brown sugar, but I am unsure if that is the 2 Tablespoons or the remaining pile of zest , This goes straight into my favourites cookbook Delicious! I marinated the chicken in a casserole dish rather than in a plastic bag I also forgot to add the broth Other than that the recipe was followed exactly right down to using coconut flour which I found at Bulk Barn The citrus flavour was wonderful Thanks for posting this recipe
