Go-to grilled chicken

Chicken second courses

Grill

This is my family’s favorite preparation for grilled chicken. The spice paste is bold and full of flavor, and it’s further intensified by the heat of the fire. You can slather the spice paste on your chicken the day before, or even a few hours before grilling, and you’ll be rewarded with some pretty darn good chicken. Given the combination of flavors in the spice paste, the grilled chicken pairs with almost anything. The small amount of salt in the spice paste is intentional. I find it's easiest to get the salt right (with no need to worry about the length of curing time) if you add a mere 1/2 teaspoon to the spice paste, and then season the chicken by eye about an hour before it hits the grill.
