If you typically look away (as I do!) when you see a recipe with a long list of ingredients, stay with me on this one. Taking a few minutes to mix this list of spices will reward you with the most incredibly flavored grilled chicken. The best part? Once you have your jarful of spices, all you need to do is sprinkle on the chicken and grill. No marinating time needed and almost no effort!
To make the meal extra special, I like to add my “everything sauce”–so named because I seem to use it on, well, everything. Click here for the full recipe for the sauce and grilling instructions for the chicken. I always mix a double batch so I have plenty to last for quite a few meals.
