Ingredients

1 (1 oz) pkg. Old El Paso™ Taco Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
2 (3 to 3 1/2-lb.) quartered frying chickens (8 quarters), skin and fat removed if desired
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 medium avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 to 2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (from 7 or 11-oz. can)

Steps:

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In medium bowl, combine taco seasoning mix, oil, lime juice and honey; mix well. Brush mixture evenly over all sides of chicken quarters.
When grill is heated, place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning frequently.
Meanwhile, combine all salsa ingredients; mix well. Serve salsa mixture with chicken.
