Sweet and Spicy Chicken
From the same alluring Real Simple picnic article as the oatmeal-raspberry bars, here's the sweet and spicy chicken. To start: I was confused by the direction that the chicken should be cut into 10 pieces. We went ahead and did an 8-piece cut (2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs and 2 wings). The premiere of Top Chef: D.C. used the 8-piece method in the quickfire challenge, so I'm sticking with it. If you want to do a 10-piece method, see the illustration here. Otherwise, this is a simple spice rub that you could likely prepare ahead of time, then quickly rub onto the chicken prior to baking. Although the spice rub looks like a small amount, it is more than enough to cover all of the chicken pieces. I rubbed the spices underneath the skin as well as on top of the skin. The name is so descriptive I don't have much more to add!
