- [Another
- nowhere in this recipe does it tell you when to add in the spices - other than the chili pwdr (that was not listed in the "ingredients," originally - I had to go back and insert which) or possibly what to do with the vegetable oil. I assume one might mix the spices in the veg. oil and smear it over the chicken breast before grilling or possibly broiling. Suggestions, of course, will be appreciated. Complaints will be ignored.]
