Chili-Lime chicken with Bratkartoffeln and Salad



Chili-Lime Chicken Ingredients:
4 Chicken legs and Thighs
juice of 1 big Lime, or 2 smaller Limes
2 Tablespoons of Chili powder
1 teaspoon Cayan Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion powder

Chili-Lime Chicken Directions:
Preheat oven to 200°C (417°F).
In a small bowl, whisk together Lime juice, Chili powder, Cayan Pepper, Salt, Garlic powder, and Onion Powder. Place the chicken in a casserole dish, and rub the marinade all over the chicken. Use all of the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Place in the oven and bake each side for 10 minutes (total baking time of 20 minutes). At this point take some of the drippins from the chicken and spoon over the chicken to remoisten. Then, set the oven to Broil (Grill) for about 5 minutes, or until the tops of chicken are a bit crispy.


Bratkartoffeln Ingredients:
4 medium-sized Potatoes (do NOT use baking potatoes)
1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
Salt
Pepper
Oregano

Bratkartoffeln Directions:
In a medium-sized pot, place Potatoes on the bottom (do NOT peel or wash!!*), and cover with water. Boil the Potatoes until they are completely cooked through, about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Prick with a knife to se if they are done. If they are not hard in the middle, then remove from heat. Remove the Potatoes from the pot of water and let cool for about 10 minutes (or until cool enough to handle). Peel the Potatoes with a knife, the skin should be loose, so this should go quickly. Then, slice the Potatoes into thin rounds.

In a skillet, heat the Vegetable Oil and then add the Potatoes and saute. Add all dry ingredients imediatly, and saute until all the flavors have mixed in well. Serve warm. (Bratkartoffeln also make excellent breakfast potatoes).

*It is VERY important not to peel or wash the Potatoes before boilling. If you scrub the potato you risk rubbing some skin off, and if the skin has been rubbed off of the Potatoes, they will be more grainy and crumble apart when cutting and cooking.

Salad Ingredients:
Lettuce
Tomato
Green Pepper
Cucumber

Salad Directions:
Mix together and add your favorit salad dressing. Or, use the dripping from the Chili-Lime Chicken as a Salad Dressing.
