Grilled Blackened Cajun Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, combine all ingredients except oil and chicken breast halves; mix well. Brush oil over all sides of chicken. Sprinkle with seasoning mixture.
• When grill is heated, place chicken on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear, turning once.

Steps:

• 1. Pull chicken breast from fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling to bring to room temperture.
• 2. Combine all seasoning and whisk; set aside.
• 3. Trim any excess fat from chicken and then rub evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle seasoning/rub evenly over chicken; rub to cover entire pieces.
• 4. Heat grill over medium/high heat until literally smoking. You want to hear the meat sizzle once it hits the grill.
• 5. Place breast on grill, cover and cook about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Turn heat off and remove grill from heat. Leave meat in pan (covered) for abour 2 minutes and then remove to plate; cover with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• 6. NOTES: 3 steps to insure a tender moist piece of chicken: 1. Remove chicken from fridge 30 minutes prior to grilling. 2. Make sure the grill is smoking hot before you place the chicken in it. 3. Let the chicken rest (covered) 10 minutes before serving. I used a cast iron grill.
