  • Brush grill surface lightly with oil.
  • Grill chicken a few minutes on each side, until cooked through. Or bake in a 450 degree oven.

Notes

This recipe comes from one of my favorite food blogs - Our Best Bites. The spicy part of the recipe is moderate and you can raise or lower the heat by adjusting the amount of spices used.
