ETHIOPIAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat over to 325F, 160C or Gas Mark 3.
• Coat the drumsticks or thighs in the peanut oil or melted butter.

• Sprinkle more of the spice on the drumsticks. You can use all of the spice mix or stop whenever you want.
• Fold over the foil to seal up the chicken and bake for 90 minutes.
• At 90 minutes open up the foil packet to allow the chicken to cook uncovered. Continue cooking for at least 15 minutes but I recommend longer, 30 - 45 minutes.
• To serve, baste with the sauce from the pan and squeeze some fresh lime juice of the chicken right before you serve it.
