spiced chicken

I make A LOT of chicken for dinner. BBQ chicken thighs, chicken Alfredo, chicken quesadillas…I could keep on going. It is also very easy to get stuck in a chicken rut.

Today, I decided to make a spice rub and take a culinary field trip into a flavor town. If you like spicy – not hot – you’ll want to try this new chicken recipe. The yogurt dip just takes it over the top! Check out my Instagram stories for the step-by-step process: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17977071184302087/
