    Recipe Introduction


    This spicy chicken dish calls for quite a few ingredients, but it's well worth it. High-heat roasting makes for a short cooking time.


    List of Ingredients


    • 6 T fresh lime juice (about 3 limes)
    • 3 T plain yogurt
    • 1 to 2 small jalapenos or serrano chile peppers, seeded and minced
    • 1 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp ground turmeric
    • 1 tsp ground coriander
    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp ground red pepper
    • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
    • 2 T vegetable oil, divided
    • 3 lbs chicken pieces
    • Garnishes: lime wedges, jalapeno or serrano chile peppers


    Instructions


    1. Stir together first 12 ingredients and 1 T vegetable oil in a large bowl until blended.
    2. Skin chicken breasts. Remove breast bones by inserting a sharp knife tip between bone and meat, cutting gently to remove as much meat as possible. Cut breast halves into thirds. Cut deep slits, 1" apart, into remaining chicken pieces. (Do not skin pieces.) Place chicken in a large bowl with spice mixture. Thoroughly rub spice mixture into slits. Cover and chill 8 hours.
    3. Drizzle remaining 1 T oil in a large aluminum foil-lined roasting pan. Arrange chicken in a single layer in pan.
    4. Bake chicken at 450 degrees for 35 minutes or until done.
    5. Arrange chicken on serving platter. Garnish, if desired.
