Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken parts, breasts cut in half, if using
1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges
One 1.25-ounce package taco seasoning
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice plus 1 teaspoon finely grated zest
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Put the chicken and onion in a large bowl and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Drizzle with the oil and toss well to coat. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with 2 layers of foil.
  • Arrange the chicken and onions on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, skin-side up. Roast until the skin is crisp and the chicken is just cooked through or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees F, about 45 minutes.
  • While the chicken cooks, stir the crema together with the lime juice and zest and cilantro. Season with salt.
  • Arrange the chicken and onions on a serving platter and garnish with the cilantro sprigs. Serve with the lime crema on the side.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chicken was still delicious.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less salt if you don't like salty food.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the lime crema was delicious. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
