When making the spice mixture, you’ll enjoy blending together some fresh herbs and spices, especially if they’re plucked straight from your home garden. Making this mixture is a simple step in the process and, if you ask me, it can be pretty relaxing. Since it’s all about spices, you’ll get to sprinkle your mixture with garlic powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, and, of course, chili powder. Each ingredient contributes a varying degree of spice, from the subtle qualities of garlic powder to the earthiness of coriander and the fierceness of chili powder.

Salt and pepper, the taste balancers, are always present. Olive oil harmonizes your herbs and spices, giving it that smooth texture ready to be brushed on your chicken. It’ll only take four to six minutes to get this versatile protein cooked through once it hits the grill so you don’t have to wait too long. To enjoy your Summer Spiced Chicken on the Grill even more, serve it alongside some refreshing coleslaw. A helping of slaw balances out the spices and gives your tender chicken a contrasting crunch when savored together. It’s the perfect combination that’s quick to prepare and even more delightful to eat!
