Blackened Cinnamon BBQ Chicken image

This recipe was one I made on the fly one year and it was fantastic. Nicely blackened on the grill with a hint of sweetness.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken drumsticks with skin
4 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
4 chicken wings with skin
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Rinse chicken drumsticks, thighs, and wings with cold water, and place into a bowl. Pour in lemon juice and vinegar; mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt until the chicken parts are thoroughly coated with the spice paste. Allow to stand, covered, for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Grill the chicken pieces on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, the juices run clear, and the spice-coated skin is blistered, well-browned, and blackened in spots, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
