Prep Grill

Prepare grill for two-zone method of grilling using lump charcoal (briquettes are fine too). Before adding chicken to grill grate be sure the grates have warmed up for at least 5 minutes with cover of grill on. Target between 450 – 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Grill Direct

When grill is at target temperature and the grate is hot, place the chicken over direct heat. Grill for 4 minutes (covered), or until the chicken breast has a nice sear or has &quot;blackened&quot;.

Flip and Grill

Flip the chicken and grill direct for another 4 minutes (covered), or until you see a dark crust form on the other side.

Grill Indirect

Move chicken to indirect heat and continue grilling (covered), until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 -165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken breast and let rest for 10 minutes to allow carry over cooking to occur and bring the internal temperature of the chicken to reach 165 degrees.

Blackened chicken is bursting with bold flavors, and it's unexpectedly moist and juicy to boot! Ready in 30-minutes, this is one fantastic chicken dish.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray or butter. Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5-10 minutes or until smoking hot.

Whisk together paprika, salt, cayenne, cumin, thyme, white pepper, and onion powder. Grease the chicken breasts with cooking spray and rub the spice mixture evenly onto them.

Place the chicken in the preheated skillet and sear both sides for 1 minute each. Transfer the breasts onto the greased baking sheet.

Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle and the juices run clear. If using a meat thermometer, the chicken’s internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
