  I couldn't get hold of any cayenne pepper so I used chilli flakes instead, which worked great. The other thing was, I followed the spice mix exactly, but found that it didn't seem to be quite enough to cover both breasts properly. I had to scrape some off the first one to give the second a good coating.

  Like the other people who commented said it needs a lot more coating. I tripled it to cover all 4 pieces. I'm also cooking with a gas oven and found it needed twice as long under the grill. But it is a really nice recipe, and the guacamole was a lovely combination.

  i found the amount of coating to be just enough as too much is just too overpowering. i might try cooking the chicken under the grill though as when i fried it in a griddle pan, by the time the chicken was cooked all the way through, the coating had gone black and it looked a bit frazzled. :)

  I love this and make it all the time. Not sure it really needs the onion flakes though as they just fall off!

  I had chicken strips needing used up today, I dont know the weight as I used some at lunch time, I guessed it was just about half so halved the other ingredients and it worked out great! I cooked it on the George Foreman Grill and it was very tasty. It IS a medium-hot spicy dish but thats how we like it :) I forgot the olive oil and, the dry ingredients covered my chicken perfectly. I am not sure if the oil was the cause of the coating not going far enough for those who say it didnt coat all of their chicken - maybe the key is to coat with the dry ingredients then spray with oil?
