Phenominal recipe! Guests LOVED it. I made it at a friend's house, and did not have my cast iron skillet, so used a non-stick pan. 'Still worked great. Presented it adorned with a tomato-onion-green pepper sauce with some kick. It was tender, flakey, and perfectly spiced. I will definitely make this again. I think my friends will actually force me to do so... Thanks.
