No Offense - Meg Cabot Page 0,100
before is:
¼ cup key lime juice (regular lime or even orange or lemon juice can be substituted)
3–4 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
a pinch of dried basil
a pinch of dried oregano
a pinch of dried thyme
a pinch of cayenne (optional)
How to make the chicken:
Take the chicken out of the packaging and put it in the bowl or sealable plastic bag.
Pour a generous amount of salad dressing into the bag, enough to lightly coat the chicken. Seal the bag.
Massage the salad dressing into the chicken, making sure you get the dressing to coat all parts of the chicken. If you’re using a bag, you can massage the chicken through the bag.
Don’t forget to wash your hands if you just massaged the chicken in a bowl with your bare hands.
Put the chicken into the refrigerator and wait two to twenty-four hours. You can try cooking it before two hours is up, but it won’t have had as long to marinate and won’t be quite as good.
Once the chicken is marinated, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place aluminum foil over a baking tray and pour chicken from bowl or bag onto tray. Be sure to save the excess salad dressing! You’ll need it later.
Put the chicken in the oven and bake 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and flip the chicken pieces over with your tongs or fork, then coat them with the leftover salad dressing from the bag or bowl.
Put the tray back in the oven and bake for another 30 minutes or until cooked through (chicken should be 165°F internally).
Enjoy your salad-dressing chicken!
