not browned; set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut four 20 inch
sheets of aluminum foil. Place 1 sheet of foil on a flat surface. Place
banana leaf in center of foil. Rub 1 chicken quarter with some of the

Colorado mixture over chicken with back of a spoon. Sprinkle with salt. Add
1/4 of the cooked onion. Wrap banana leaf around chicken to cover. Fold
foil over banana leaf and crimp to close securely. If you use small pieces
of banana leaf, overlap them to enclose chicken completely. Continue until
