Chili Lime Chicken

Chili Lime Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2.5-3 pounds chicken thighs or thighs/drumsticks
  • 1/4 c chili powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 1/8 cup sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Combine seasonings in a small bowl and rub mixture on the chicken pieces. Squeeze lime juice over the chicken. You can refrigerate for an hour if you'd like, or if you don't have time you can just begin cooking it now.
  3. Cook chicken for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees for another 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  4. Once the chicken is out of the oven, squeeze a little more lime over it, just to give it a little something extra.
  5. Serve chicken in a bowl, family style and dig in.
  6. Great with corn or flour tortillas, beans, rice, salsa and guacamole!
