CAJUN STYLE CHICKEN

YIELDS: 5 Servings PREP TIME: 5 mins COOK TIME: 30 mins TOTAL TIME: 35 mins

Crisp, tender, grilled chicken with incredible flavor thanks to a super simple Cajun rub! You probably already have everything you need on your spice rack! Oh, and there's butter involved so you know it's gonna be good!

INGREDIENTS:

10 pieces chicken (I like to use legs and thighs but choose whatever makes you happy!)
Butter

Spice Rub
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Tools 
Smoker 
Small bowl 
Foil pan 
Instant read thermometer

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat your grill or smoker to 400°F.
  2. Combine all ingredients for the spice rub in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Generously season your chicken pieces with the rub and place in a large foil pan. Top each piece of chicken with about a 1/2 tablespoon cube of butter.
  4. Cook until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, about 30 minutes.
  5. Enjoy!
