Tips:
- Use a good quality smoked paprika. This will give the chicken a deep, smoky flavor.
- 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.

- 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.
