Mexican-Style Grilled Chicken
Marinating the chicken overnight is the secret to this recipe. The marinade sinks into the meat and the lime helps to tenderize. Using bone-in chicken breasts gives this dish even more flavor.
Serving: 6
INGREDIENTS:
6 chicken breast halves (with the bone)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice, about 4 to 5 limes
1/3 cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon hot paprika
1 teaspoon dried chile powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus additional sprigs for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Place the chicken in a 9-x-13-inch pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining ingredients, except the garnish. Pour over the chicken and marinate for 1 hour or, ideally, overnight in the refrigerator.
Take the chicken out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking. Heat the grill to medium high. Grill chicken about 10 to 12 minutes per side, turning often to avoid burning. Remove and serve on a platter with cilantro sprigs.
To Grill Chicken Indoors:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and place a baking sheet on the middle rack. Heat a grill pan on the stove over high heat. When pan is hot, add the chicken, skin side down, and grill just until grill marks are formed on the chicken, about 3 minutes. Remove and place on the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until cooked through. This method prevents smoke while imparting the chicken with a grilled flavor.

What are some of your favourite Mexican food recipes that you could suggest?We Answered:
Well, I'd check out some of Diana Kennedy's books on Mexican cooking. Her stuff is really involved...almost too involved...lol.My husband is mexican....I cook mainly mexican food, and make everything from scratch..mexican AND american.
The things I have made from d. kennedy's books turn out great, but my husband always says: "We don't make THAT kind of food in Jalisco (where is is from)!" However, my husband LOVES what I make regardless of whether he has ever eaten it before.
I can recommend ensalada de chicharrones (really really simple recipe) from her book, as well as pollo en mole rojo sencillo (but I use pork instead of chicken).
Also, try to get an out of print book by ORTHO, of all publishers, called "Adventures in Mexican cooking". It is VERY authentic, and is full of mexican homestyle cooking, from yucatec food all the way up to the norteno style of cooking. You can probably find it on ebay.
If you like complicated stuff, I'd recommend learning to make chicken tamales in banana leaves. It is pretty much a veracruz style tamal, but you really need to spend a day in the kitchen with someone who knows how to make them. Explaining in writing how to make them would be futile.
Hope you get to try some of those recipes. (diana kennedy's recipes for tamales are a little "overworked", by the way)
