   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4   c            Fresh lime juice
    2       tb           Cider vinegar
      1/2   ts           Paprika
      1/4   ts           Angostura bitters
    1       t            Hot pepper sauce, or to
                         -taste
    1                    Dried hot red chili
    1                    Fresh chili (such as
                         -jalapeno)
    2                    Cloves garlic
    2       lb           Whole chicken breast, with
                         -skin and bone
 
   Combine the lime juice, vinegar, paprika, bitters and hot pepper sauce in a
   glass baking dish.
   
   Wearing kitchen gloves, split the dried chili with a sharp paring knife and
   remove the seeds.  Do the same with the jalapeno pepper.  Mash the peppers
   with the garlic into a smooth paste using a mortar or an electric spice
   grinder.  Add the paste to the lime mixture in the baking dish and combine.
   
   Toss the chicken pieces and swish them in the marinade until they are
   completely coated.  Cover and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
   
   Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill or broil until cooked
   through and burnished, about 20 minutes on each side.  Baste frequently
   with the marinade.  If the chicken looks like it is beginning to burn, move
   it farther away from the heat source.  Serve hot with chilled orange
   sections and plenty of napkins.
   
   Makes 4 servings.

   NOTE:  “Peri-peri, the national hot sauce of Zimbabwe, is an ancestor of
   many of our Acadian (and other southern) hot sauces.  It enhances lamb,
   beef and fish as well as chicken, and a splash in the glass makes a mean
   Bloody Mary.”
