Quick Barbecue Chicken

Rub chicken breasts under the skin with the spice paste, and grill for a simple, delicious late-summer dinner. Leave the skin on the chicken as it cooks so the breasts will remain juicy, and discard skin just before serving. Total time: 45 minutes.

Yield: 2 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half)

Ingredients

• 1  teaspoon  sugar
• 1  teaspoon  chili powder
• 2  teaspoons  olive oil
• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  garlic powder
• 1/4  teaspoon  ground cumin
• 1/8  teaspoon  ground ginger
• 1/8  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/8  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 2  (8-ounce) bone-in chicken breast halves
• Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Prepare grill.

2. Combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Loosen skin from chicken by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat; rub spice mixture evenly under skin over meat. Lightly coat skin with cooking spray. Place chicken, breast-side down, on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°, turning twice. Let chicken stand 10 minutes. Remove skin; discard.
