this may not be for everyone - but lord is it good
slice a couple of bell peppers, big vidalia onion, anaheim pepper, and dice a japaleno
spread in a big cast iron skillet. it should be a layer at least halfway up the side of the pan.
season with kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, and cumin
take 2 (whole) chicken halves and cut off all visible hunks of fat (important step)
rub a tiny bit of oil on chicken and season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, and a LOT of cinnamon.
place skin side up on top of pepper mixture.
put in 325-350 degree oven until almost done. i actually took the pan out 3/4 way through and poured the juice out. when the chicken was done i turned the broiler on for a second to put a little xtra crisp on the skin
take the pan out and remove the gamecock to rest. take cooked peppers out and put on a plate.
you can eat this as a meal or however you like.
we pulled some chicken and made wraps with the chicken and peppers. it needed nothing else.
if i were going to make it a little fancier - maybe a little sour cream, chopped cilantro, grated jack cheese and then wrap.
if you’ve never had cinnamon chicken - its really a neat flavor and worth a try
congratz
