Spicy Grilled Chicken

If I'm completely honest with myself, and others, being a healthy eater is not on my list of priorities. Most meals I consume have five-digit calorie totals. Of all things, I do enjoy a nice grilled chicken dinner, an actually healthy entree, being that white meat does your body well in comparison to the red. So I begin by mixing a series of spices; cumin, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Cayenne pepper, and chili powder all in combination to create an exotic blend that teases the tongue which its richness and lays carpet bombs of spice on the soft flesh.

The sextet covers every space of raw chicken before it is cooked thoroughly on the grill. Even with the glass door leading outside closed, I can stand in the kitchen looking outside and smell the chicken sizzling on the hot iron.

While the chicken cooks, I start making instant rice with tons of butter and salt, as well as a single corn on the cob. Timing is everything when preparing a meal. The chicken comes off the grill just as the sides finish up. Each bite of the chicken has a nice bite that causes aches in the throat as the chunks are swallowed, but the rice calms it down, and the sweet corn rounds out an already delectable meal.
