Mexican Chicken Packets

1 (4 oz.) can chopped green chiles, drained
1 (7 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. dried ground mustard
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 crushed garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
4 pieces chicken, with skin on and bone in, about 2 1/2 to 3 lb.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl, Mix together all ingredients except chicken. Mix well.

Lay out 4 pieces of aluminum foil or parchment paper about double the size of each piece of chicken. Lay chicken on half of each foil piece, skin-side down, and paint with sauce. Turn chicken, skin-side up, and paint with remaining sauce. Wrap each piece of foil or parchment around chicken and fold edges to seal tightly.

Place chicken pieces on a baking sheet and bake for 55 min. to 75 min. for lrg. pieces. Chicken should be fully cooked when juices run clear and no pink remains.

Place pouches on heated dinner plates and let guests open them at the table.

Great with creamy pasta, colorful Spanish rice or just plain baked potatoes.
