Cooking
with Wine
4 chicken hind quarters
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon spicy seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

In a shallow container, place the hot pepper sauce. Add chicken, one piece at a time, turning to coat. Sprinkle salt, cinnamon and allspice over the chicken. Place chicken, skin side up, in a single layer in a large shallow baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees, basting twice with pan juices, for 45 minutes or until the chicken is fork tender.

Arrange the rice and chicken on a serving platter. Spoon papaya salsa over the chicken. (see below)

1-1/2 cup papaya, diced
1/4 cup red onion, minced
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons red pepper, minced
2 tablespoons hot pepper jelly
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Rice, cooked

In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together well. Chill. Makes about 2 cups.
