Kafffir lime leaves are absolutely delicious.  They are used in Thai cooking and cost a small fortune to buy as leaves from a supermarket.  The good news is that a Kaffir lime bush is quite easy to grow – much easier than other citrus plants, and once you’ve got one going, culinary life looks up.  If you have time to fiddle, you could stuff part of a leaf under the skin of the chicken pieces, which will further infuse the meat with a wonderful flavour.
