Roasted Baja Chicken

Inspiration: Susan L
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes
Serves: 4

Description: This spice rub has a great kick to it. I have only used chicken thigh's for this dish, but chicken breast would work. I always like to have my kids in the kitchen with me. They were able to measure the spices out and rub it on the chicken themselves. If it is to spicy have a little avocado mixed with sour cream on the side.

Ingredients:
1 tbs chopped cilantro
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbs olive oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup of chicken stock or white wine
1 tbs of butter

optional
1/2 cup of premade avacado (by the salad section)
2 tbs sour cream

Directions:

1. Combine seasonings together.
2. Dredge the chicken in olive oil
3. Rub the spice mixture on both sides of the chicken.
4. Put the chicken in a large roasting dish.
5. Cook the baja chicken at 400 for 35 minutes
6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and cut into slices.
7. While pan is still hot pour a few tbs of chicken stock or white wine to the bottom of the pan and scrape off any crusty bits that are stuck to the pan.
8. pour the mixture to a small sauce pan and keep hot. If needed add salt and pepper and 1 tbs of butter to form a nice sauce.
9. Pour the sauce over the cut chicken.
