Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon green pepper sauce
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, zested and juiced
2 pounds chicken drumsticks
Large zip-top bag (optional)
Nonstick aluminum foil
½ teaspoon Miami-style cuban seasoning (sazon completa)

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
