Coyote Roast Chicken With Chili Cinnamon Rub Recipes

COYOTE ROAST CHICKEN WITH CHILI CINNAMON RUB

Steps:

• Split leg into thigh and drumstick portion nad remove the skin.
• Brush tops of skinless legs with oil.
• Mix spices, salt and sugar together in a small bowl, and rub spice mixture onto the pieces using your hands.
• Place chicken in the refrigerator to "rest" for 1 hour.
• Preheat barbecue and grill over medium heat, turning once, until fully cooked and browned - about 20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into chicken reads 165°F.
• Garnish with sprigs of thyme, if you wish.
• NOTE: Traditionally this dish is eaten by shredding off pieces of chicken and wrapping in a tortilla. In that case, serve with salsa and warm tortillas.
• In Canada, chili powder in a recipe usually means the store version that contains milder type red chilies that have been ground and flavoured with some cumin, oregano, garlic and/or salt. For a nicer taste experience buy some of the dried Mexican style chili powders. Ancho chili powder works well in this recipe but you can use chipotle or others.

CINNAMON-RUBBED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Stir olive oil, cinnamon, salt, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and thyme together in a small bowl; rub onto chicken to coat. Arrange coated chicken pieces into a baking dish with the skin side down.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, turn, and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from oven, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and rest chicken for about 15 minutes before serving.
