Ingredients  


Instructions

  • Combine granulated sugar and water in a large bowl or Ziploc bag and brine your chicken for 30 minutes to 8 hours.
  • Remove from water and pat dry.
  • Combine seasonings in a medium sized bowl and rub all over the chicken.
  • Cook on the grill directly over flame for about 4-5 minutes on each side, only flipping once.
  • Move to an area of the grill where the heat isn't so direct to finish cooking, about another 10 minutes.
  • Chicken is done when internal temp reaches 165 F.
  • Transfer to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes before slicing and adding to prepared Suddenly Grain Salad with fresh vegetables.
  • Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lime juice.

Notes

Every grill will cook a little differently, so please make sure to check the internal temp before eating.
Chicken can also be baked at 350 F for 45-60 minutes.
