1 broiler-fryer chicken (about 3 lbs.), cut up
2 limes
1/3 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 c. Crisco (or oil of choice)
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 c. chicken broth or chicken bouillon
1/2 c. dry white wine or additional chicken broth
2 sprigs mint (or 1/2 tsp. dried mint)

FOR GARNISH: 1 avocado, 1 lime slice, sprigs of fresh mint.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash chicken, drain and pat dry. (See end of recipe.) Grate peel from limes and set aside. Squeeze lime juice over pieces of chicken. Shake chicken in a bag containing flour, salt and paprika. Heat Crisco or oil in skillet and brown chicken on all sides. Arrange chicken in single layer in casserole or baking pan. Combine lime peel and brown sugar and sprinkle over chicken. Add liquid. Place mint on top if desired. Cover and bake at 375 degrees until chicken is tender, 40 to 45 minutes.

Garnish with lime slices or wedges, avocado crescents and fresh mint.

Chicken may be skinned before starting preparation, if desired.
