Grilled Chili Glazed Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lbs), cut in eighths
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons water

Directions:

Rinse chicken and pat dry. In a small pan, stir together butter, garlic, chili powder, cumin, lime peel, and lime juice. Brush generously over chicken.

Arrange chicken, except breast pieces, skin side up on a lightly greased grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of medium coals. Grill for 15 minutes, turning and basting frequently with butter mixture. Place chicken breast pieces on grill. Continue to cook, turning and basting often, until meat near thighbone is no longer pink (about 25 more minutes). Cut to test.
