Step 1

Light your gas or charcoal grill.

Step 2

Rinse your chicken pieces and lay them out on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Step 3

Season the chicken generously with the spice rub. Just the tops is fine for now.

Step 4

Place the chicken on the hot grill, spice side down. (Depending on your grill, you may need to oil the slats first.) Season the back sides of the chicken pieces.

Step 5

Cook over medium heat, covered, until the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest. In this way the juices will redistribute throughout the chicken. You can serve the chicken now or follow note to freeze.
