Recipe View 5 mins Remove the chicken from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper. If you like it extra spicy, add a pinch of chili flakes.
The spice blend can be made in advance and stored for up to 6 months in an airtight container.
To bake the chicken, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned chicken breasts on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
Try marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and a tablespoon of the spice blend for at least 30 minutes before grilling for added moisture and flavor.
