CHILI POWDER CHICKEN THIGH RUB & RECIPE

Chili Powder Chicken Thigh Rub & Recipe image

Weeknight cooking is everyone's biggest challenge. No one wants to figure out how to whip up a delicious, healthy dinner after a long day. This recipe is a game changer. The rub can be batched ahead of time, making assembly a snap. Even better, chicken thighs reheat beautifully; so cooking a bunch on Sunday can make for several weekday meals.

Ingredients

4 2.5 oz jars chili powder
2 2.5 oz jars dried cumin
2 2.5 oz jars dried oregano
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/8 cup freshly ground pepper
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and pour into individual jars for gifting.

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees
Sprinkle each chicken thigh with a tablespoon of chili powder mixture, covering both sides.
Place chicken thighs skin side down in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil and place in preheated oven. Bake for 60 minutes.
Remove pan from oven and remove foil. Turn chicken thighs skin side up.
Return to oven for 15 minutes and bake uncovered.
Turn broiler on high and broil chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes, or until crispy and golden.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. I recommend a lemony arugula salad as the perfect side to these tasty chicken thighs.

CHILI LIME CHICKEN

Chili Lime Chicken image

This recipe combines many of the spices that I grew up with and that have become a distinctive part of much of my cooking including dishes such as chili Colorado, posole, and Frontera™ style carne asada. I would describe this dish as more Tex-Mex or New Mexican than Mexican. Serve on a bed of rice or slice thinly for use in tacos or to top a green salad.

Ingredients

¼ cup ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
⅔ cup canola oil, or more as needed
1 large lime, juiced
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Steps:

Combine ancho chile powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and chipotle powder in a medium glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in canola oil and lime juice until well combined; thin with additional canola oil if mixture seems too thick.
Arrange chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, covering it completely. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet; do not crowd. Discard any excess marinade.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 6 minutes.

CHILI-RUBBED CHICKEN

Chili-Rubbed Chicken image

A simple rub that adds some heat to grilled chicken. From Barbecue Recipes. The recipe calls for 6 split broilers, but Zaar wouldn't take it that way, so I've changed it to 3 chickens, halved.

CHILI-LIME CHICKEN FAJITAS

Chili-Lime Chicken Fajitas image

I like to use my cast-iron skillet for this lime chicken fajitas recipe because it gives the dark sear that flavors the fajitas. If you don't have cast iron, a different pan will work just fine. We go pretty simple with our fajita toppings: lime wedges, cheese and a little sour cream, but you can add anything that you wish. -Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

CHILI-SPICED CHICKEN BREASTS

Chili-Spiced Chicken Breasts image

Spicing up dinnertime at her house in Lockney, Texas is a snap for Stacy Nutt when she bakes this zippy chicken dish. The mix of chili powder, jalapeno and cayenne pepper perks up the poultry perfectly. "I serve it over couscous-tiny pasta grains. But you could also use rice, other pasta or potatoes," she notes.
