Main Ingredients:

1 (3 1/2 pound) chicken, cut up, or chicken parts, 3 breasts, 3 thighs, 3 drumsticks
1 cup plain yogurt
1 large clove garlic, pressed
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (Tabasco)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper (cayenne)

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1. Rinse chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat.
2. In a large flat dish, combine yogurt, garlic and Tabasco. Lay chicken in mixture, coating well. Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, salt, and black and red pepper. Roll the chicken pieces in the breading mixture, covering all sides.
4. In a large roaster, generously oiled (with 1 1/2 tablespoons excess in bottom) place the chicken, meat side down.
