Children of all ages love this timeless recipe and adults just can't get enough of this. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs of chicken (drumsticks, wings or even drummettes) |

2 tspns of chilli powder (increase according to taste) |
1 whole lime (juice squeezed out and pitts removed) |
1/2 tspn of salt (according to taste) |
1 tbspn of tabasco sauce |
2 tbspns of olive oil (or cooking oil) |

6. Turn the chicken over on the other side and bake for another 20 mins.
7. At this point, the chicken is cooked and dark red in colour.
