Serve up some corn bread spiked with jalapeño chilis and shredded Cheddar cheese for a spicy accompaniment to this south-of-the-border chicken.
1/2 cup nonalcoholic margarita mix
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 to 3 1/2 pounds cut-up broiler-fryer chicken
1 tablespoon coarse salt
Mix margarita mix, lime juice and garlic in resealable heavy-duty plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag and turn to coat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 1 hour but no longer than 24 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove chicken from marinade; reserve marinade. Heat oven to 375°. Line broiler pan with aluminum foil. Spray rack of broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken, skin sides down, on rack in broiler pan. Brush with marinade; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Bake uncovered 30 minutes; turn chicken. Brush with remaining marinade; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake uncovered about 35 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. (If chicken begins to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.)
