This Spicy Orange Grilled Chicken is the BEST grilled chicken recipe you’ll ever eat. I know that’s a pretty bold claim but I’m still drooling over the memory of my first bite of it four years later. If that doesn’t tell you how good it is I don’t know what will.

My husband and I make this any time we’re feeling particularly lonesome for our old neighborhood and have even shared it with our new neighbors who loved it just as much. It’s the perfect blend of spicy from paprika and sweet from orange juice. Make more than you think you’ll need because it will be eaten up quickly!

 

Ingredients:

3 lbs. chicken, cut in half

1 tablespoon grated orange rind

1 tablespoon orange juice

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon liquid honey

2 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground ginger

3⁄4 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions:

Place chicken in shallow dish.

In a separate bowl whisk the rest of the ingredients and brush over the chicken.

Cover and refrigerate for 10 min or up to 24 hours.

Brush BBQ with some oil.

Place chicken with bone down, close top of grill, turning once about 45 minutes later.

Quiick tip: This works great with any cut of chicken but chicken breasts are our favorite—they make a great spicy chicken sandwich!
