Instead of the usual hamburgers and hot dogs, toss this onto the grill at your next backyard barbecue. Leftovers make a wonderful salad.*
 

Ingredients

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon   
3/4 tsp ground allspice   
1/2 tsp garlic salt   
1/4 tsp dried thyme   
1/4 tsp table salt   
1/4 tsp black pepper   
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste   
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice, divided   
1 pound(s) boneless, skinless chicken thigh(s), about 6 thighs

Salsa   
1 large mango(es), diced   
2 small shallot(s), finely chopped   
1 large jalapeno pepper(s), cored, seeded and minced (do not touch seeds with bare hands)   
1 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, minced   
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste   

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.
