1. To prepare the chicken: Remove the peel and white pith from the limes and chop the flesh coarsely. In a bowl, combine the lime with the garlic, chili powder, paprika and sugar. Put the chicken into a glass dish and coat with the lime mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, turning once.
   
   
2. To prepare the dipping sauce: Combine the guacamole and salsa. Refrigerate until ready to use.
   
   
3. Heat oven to 375 degrees (F). Spray the top of a broiling pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with aluminum foil. Lay the chicken on top; don't scrape off the marinade. Bake 20 minutes. Turn the chicken, brushing with the marinade. Continue baking 15 minutes, or until cooked through. (Discard the remaining marinade.)
   
   
4. Finish the chicken by putting under a hot broiler about 4 inches from the heat. Broil a few minutes until browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.
