That was my best discovery ever--how to get almost no white in with the zest using it.

However, it has been my experience that for some reason when it is overly dry, it enhances the bitterness in both. I do agree the citrus ratio does seem a bit high but the bitterness is most likely from the thyme. <br /><br />Sorry it didn't work out for you, Grace...<br /><br />Thanks for sharing...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8086092172497469041.post-62952259540228252962015-02-08T12:04:05.335-05:002015-02-08T12:04:05.335-05:00Interesting post and comments.

I'm not a lime and chicken fan, so I don't know what to tell you. I do think limes can be more bitter than lemons sometimes.

I find that if I am cooking something for longer than 10 minutes with citrus slices, then the pith makes the whole dish bitter.
