ADOBE OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN Yield: 4 to 6 servings
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced 6 tablespoons honey mustard 1 jalapeno chili, minced 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal 2 teaspoons chili powder 1/4 teaspoon each: salt, dried oregano, ground red pepper 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 frying chickens, cut in serving pieces, skin removed
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a jellyroll pan with aluminum foil. Combine cilantro, mustard, jalapeno and lime juice in a small dish; set aside. Combine bread crumbs, cornmeal, chili powder, salt, oregano and red pepper in a shallow dish such as a pie plate. Drizzle oil over and mix with your hands until mixture is uniformly moistened.
Using the back of a small spoon, coat chicken pieces with mustard mixture; roll in breadcrumb mixture. Arrange meaty side up on jelly-roll pan.
Bake until juices from the thigh run clear instead of pink, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
