Chili Rubbed Chicken

By Derrick Riches, About.com

This chicken recipe calls for a very basic rub that is heavy on the chili powder. Adjust the heat by changing the amount of cayenne.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds chicken cut up and skinned
  • 1/2 cup chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne

Preparation:

Mix chili powder, brown sugar and cayenne together. Rub mixture all over chicken pieces. Allow to stand for 1 hour. Preheat grill. Place on grill and cook until done. When turning be careful not to displace the rub. For additional flavor add pre-soaked hickory or mesquite wood chips to the grill before cooking.
