Best Recipe for Blackened Cinnamon BBQ Chicken
Ingredients
- 4 chicken drumsticks with skin
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
- 4 chicken wings with skin
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Rinse chicken drumsticks, thighs, and wings with cold water, and place into a bowl. Pour in lemon juice and vinegar; mix in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt until the chicken parts are thoroughly coated with the spice paste. Allow to stand, covered, for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Grill the chicken pieces on the preheated grill until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, the juices run clear, and the spice-coated skin is blistered, well-browned, and blackened in spots, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
