Hi guys! Don't know why this one is called "North Carolina" chicken. Except it is from that state in the "Best of the Best" cookbook. Anyway this I really liked because I made it in the morning, then an hour before Steve was supposed to come home I just put it in the oven and it was ready. And it smelled so good while it was baking. So here it is....
North Carolina Chicken
8 oz (2 sticks) butter or margarine
2 envelopes dry Italian salad dressing mix
1/2 cup lime juice
1 tsp salt
5 lbs chicken pieces
Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in salad dressing mix, lime juice, and salt. Marinate chicken 3-4 hours or overnight. Bake @ 350 for one hour or until done (how helpful). (Mine took just the hour) Or cook on outdoor grill for one hour, turning and basting every 10-15 minutes. Sounds easy enough. And Jessi was here while I was making it, so even with distractions and much conversation it still turned out great. Steve liked it and took the leftovers to work today for lunch. Sam & Emma did eat it but I'm not sure they liked it. No fits, though. And I thought it was yummy, too. But why is this so North Carolinan?? Do they grow limes there or something? Or make dry Italian salad dressing mixes?
