Coyote Roast Chicken with Chile Cinnamon Rub
1
Split legs into thigh and drumstick portions and remove the skin.
2
Brush tops of skinless legs with oil. Mix spices, salt and sugar together in a small bowl and rub spiced mixture onto the pieces using your hands. Place chicken in the refrigerator to “rest” for an hour.
3
Preheat BBQ and grill over medium heat, turning once, until fully cooked and browned – approximately 40 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
4
Garnish with sprigs of fresh thyme if you wish.
Notes: Traditionally you eat this dish by shredding off pieces of chicken and wrapping in tortilla. In that case, serve with salsa and warm tortillas.
In Canada, chili powder in a recipe usually means the store version that contains milder type red chilies that have been ground and flavoured with some cumin, oregano, garlic and/or salt. If you want a nice taste experience buy some of the dried Mexican style chili powders. Ancho chili powder works well in this recipe but you can use chipotle or others.
