[Another Note: Now that I have typed this into the database, I see that nowhere in this recipe does it tell you when to add the spices -other than the chili powder (which was not listed in the "ingredients," originally -I had to go back and insert that) or what to do with the vegetable oil. I assume one might mix the spices in the cooking oil and smear it over the chicken breast before grilling or broiling. Suggestions, of course, will be appreciated. Complaints will be ignored.] Posted in the Cooking echo by Bud Cloyd (in a valiant, yet possibly futile attempt to keep out of trouble with the moderator)
