Serving Size: 6 Preparation Time: 9:00

3 lb chicken, whole or pieces

2 med. Red onions, diced

2 green chili peppers, diced

4 cloves garlic, chopped

1 tsp ginger

¼ C Olive Oil

¼ C Lemon Juice

¾ tsp coriander

¾ tsp cumin seed

salt and pepper to taste

Clean and remove the skin from the chicken. If using a whole chicken, cut into pieces.

Poke the chicken with a fork, or score the chicken with a knife and sprinkle with salt.

Combine the chopped onion, chili, garlic, ginger and all remaining ingredients in a blender. Blend the ingredients to a fine paste.

Layer the chicken pieces and marinade in a large bowl with a cover. Make sure all the chicken is covered with the marinade.

Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, however, overnight is best.

Grill or roast in a 350 deg. F. oven until done.

Notes: 2 gm. Carbs (generous estimate, because you don’t eat the marinade).
