CHILI-RUBBED CHICKEN



Chili-Rubbed Chicken image

A simple rub that adds some heat to grilled chicken. From Barbecue Recipes. The recipe calls for 6 split broilers, but Zaar wouldn't take it that way, so I've changed it to 3 chickens, halved.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN



Chili Lime Chicken image

This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

¼ cup ancho chile powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
⅔ cup canola oil, or more as needed
1 large lime, juiced
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

  • Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
  • Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

CHICKEN THIGH CHILI

The basis of this came from a chicken-chili soup on this site. I altered it enough (I didn't want a soup) that I couldn't rate the original and decided to share this recipe. Top with sour cream, sliced green onion, and shredded cheese.
