Preparation

Step 1

Grind onion and garlic in food processor until it makes a paste. Add generous amount of spice. Use plenty as most of it will be removed before cooking. Rub onion-garlic spice mix on the chicken. Put chicken in a ziploc bag. Mix ginger ale and oil. Cover chicken with mixture. Marinate overnight.

Mix crushed tortilla chips and matzo meal (about 2/3 chips and 1/3 matzo meal). Drain the chicken and brush off some onion paste. Roll chicken in chip mixture. Place in baking pan and bake uncovered at 375 until done.

VARIATIONS:

Indian Chicken: Grind some fresh peeled ginger with onion and garlic. Use cumin and black pepper instead of mexican spices. Roll in bread crumbs or plain matzo meal.

Middle Eastern Chicken: Instead of mexican spices, use shwarma spice mix or other middle eastern spice mix. Roll in breadcrumbs or plain matzo meal.
