This tangy chicken works well with salad or rice and is delicious both cold and hot. You can cook this dish straight away, or if you have time you can keep it in the fridge for up to a day while the flavours work their magic. This recipe is based on one found in an old South African cookbook, which said that tamborine is a local name for a lime tree.
