Lime Pepper Chicken

Corona in Chicken Form -- no joke.

I based my recipe for Lime Pepper Cornish Hen on this recipe from cooks.com.

LIME-PEPPER CHICKEN
1/2 tsp. finely shredded lime peel (optional)
1/4 c. lime juice
1 tbsp. cooking oil
dried basil
cracked black pepper
garlic salt
1 cornish hen (thawed, if necessary)
For sauce, in a small mixing bowl, stir together lime peel, lime juice, cooking oil, basil, pepper and garlic salt; set aside.

To shred the lime peel with out a zester, go at it with a serrated knife -- it worked out pretty well since you don't need that much. You could probably also just use a lime salt, if you prefer though. Pour the mixture over the bird, inside and out and even under the skin where possible. You can add more basil, salt, pepper, etc to taste on top if you wish.

Cook according to directions on cornish hen label. Super easy. Especially if you opt out of the lime peel part. Serve with salad, mashed potatoes, green beans, etc. Fairly impressive dish and it tastes like something mom would make :)
