Grilled Creole Chicken - Perfect barbecue chicken recipe!

Living in Arizona, it's almost a necessity to use the grill in the summertime. It's just way to hot to even think about turning on the stove or oven. We probably grill out 4-5 nights a week and we usually just have a steak or grilled BBQ chicken. Occasionally, I do something fancy like grilled pizzas or make up a new seasoning blend for the chicken. However, we also get some ideas online on how to have the best bbq recipe like this bbq on sale edmonton!

My rules are that it has to use regular ingredients that I already in my pantry and be quick to throw together. Plus, I don't like thinking about supper at breakfast, so it has to marinate fast.

This chicken is such a beautiful deep red color, but I promise it's not very spicy. If you are scared, then leave out the cayenne...but even my kids ate this without issues. In fact, they declared it the best grilled chicken in the world (no joke) and begged for more.

Simple, healthy dinners are always a winner at my table. Since I got the family's approval, I plan on making up a huge batch of this mix so that I don't have to make it every time.
