Dan's Baja Chicken

Submitted by T3 Foxen

"In my many years in the kitchen, I stumbled upon this recipe in my experimentations with cooking for clients who wanted something "different." The most important part of this recipe is the marinade. Once marinated, the chicken can be broiled, grilled, fried, or cooked any other way, depending on your dietary wishes/requirements. Best served with "Party Rice" (which I will post a recipe for later ;-)), this dish also goes well with baked potatoes or Penne tossed in garlic and olive oil."

3. Cook completely
4. Cover with the finely diced peppers (for color),
5. And enjoy!

I have to say I was a little hesitant at first since the ingredients seemed a bit much and I was afraid it would be too spicy. It was DELICIOUS and had just the right amount of kick. Even my boyfriend liked it and he doesn't like too much spice either. This is a great recipe and it will be made again.
