1
Stir together first 12 ingredients and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large bowl until blended.
2
Skin chicken breasts. Remove breast bones by inserting a sharp knife tip between bone and meat, cutting gently to remove as much meat as possible. Cut breast halves into thirds. Cut deep slits, 1-inch apart, into remaining chicken pieces. (Do not skin pieces.) Place chicken in a large bowl with spice mixture. Thoroughly rub spice mixture into slits. Cover and chill 8 hours.
3
Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large aluminum foil-lined roasting pan. Arrange chicken in a single layer in pan.
4
Bake chicken at 450u00b0 for 35 minutes or until done.
5
Arrange chicken on a serving platter. Garnish, if desired.
