Tips:

  • If you don't have chili powder, you can substitute a mixture of cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply rub the spices on the chicken before grilling.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat until it is cooked through. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.

Conclusion:
