Easy Grilled Chicken

CAJUN TURKEY SEASONING

(bbq.about.com)

4 T salt

4 T onion powder

2 T garlic powder

2 T red pepper flakes

2 T paprika

1 T ground oregano

Mix ingredients together. Rub over the surface of the turkey (or, in our case, chicken), inside and out. Try to work the rub in under the skin. Let sit for about two hours before cooking. Can be used on all poultry (like chicken leg quarters) no matter how it’s prepared, but the recipe comes from the bbq page of the site. Store in a cool dark place.

GREEK GRILLED CHICKEN

Just add Greek seasoning to oil and lemon juice and marinate chicken in it for about an hour. Bring the marinade to a boil after you take the chicken out, then brush it on the chicken as it cooks.

ITALIAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Same thing, just use Italian seasoning instead of Greek seasoning.
