Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- On a plate, combine cinnamon, allspice, garlic salt, thyme, table salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of lime juice; mix to a paste. Brush both sides of chicken with seasoning paste; set aside for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients.
- Grill chicken for 10 minutes; flip and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Cut each chicken thigh in half to serve. Yields 3 pieces of chicken (1 1/2 thighs total) and about 1/2 cup salsa per serving.
Notes- *Get crafty with leftovers: If you’re only cooking for 2 people, make the complete recipe and then combine the leftover chicken with 2 cups of arugula and 1 cup of cooked asparagus for an entrée salad another night.
