GRILLED CHICKEN WITH A TEX-MEX SPICE RUB
Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine and toss the chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, salt garlic powder, pepper and chipotle powder. Pat the spice mix all over the chicken breasts, drizzle with the olive oil and let sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours in the refrigerator. Heat gas grill to medium high or prepare a medium charcoal fire. Set the chicken on the grill and cook (covered on a gas grill), without touching, until it has good grill marks, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and continue to cook until it's firm to touch, another 4-6 minutes; you can check by making a slit into one of the thickest breasts, or it should register 162 degrees with an instant-read thermometer. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
