Today, I’ve got a quick and easy spice rub for chicken. It is sweet, spicy, and oh so delicious. However, don’t be scared off by the term “spicy”. It’s not hot spicy, it’s flavor spicy. I pulled this sweet and spicy grilled chicken recipe from my recent Simple and Delicious magazine.
This is a recipe you can quickly mix up and toss on your grill any night. Loved it. So yummy and flavorful. This sweet and spicy grilled chicken would also be wonderful as part of a salad. I think a salad made with black beans, cheese, tomato, tortilla strips, this chicken, and a dressing made by mixing salsa with ranch dressing would be fabulous!
