Lime and Honey baked chicken

I am having about 6 people over for dinner today and decided to woo them with something different.

12 chicken legs (we like to eat plenty)
1 bulb of ground garlic. (you can use more or less depending on your taste)
I teaspoon of Cameroon Pepper
8 Limes ( The rind of all the limes, the juices as well)
1 teaspoon of Paprika
1 teaspoon of Salt
5 tbs of honey
5 tbs of Olive Oil
2 Maggi/knorr cube seasoning

Start by washing the chicken legs thoroughly. If they are frozen make sure they are defrosted. Then half all of them (this is reduce cooking time and to ensure they are cooked thoroughly). In a deep bowl add the rind of all the limes, the juices and well as the pulp. Mix in the garlic until you achieve an almost even consistency.  mix the remainder of the ingredients together...then add the chicken into the mixture until well coated. Put the chicken into nylon/ziploc bags. Place overnight in the refridgerator or at least 4 hours. When ready to cook Bring out the chicken to rest. Put the chicken on a baking/roasting tray and place in a pre-heated oven for 30 minutes. Cover with tin foil for the first 20 mins. Then leave to brown for the last 10 minutes. Serve with rice or just a healthy salad.
