Dry Rub Grilled Chicken

Most of you know by now that I like to grill. I just love to be outside, maybe that's why I've taken to grilling. Did you know the homegirlz started their three times a week conditioning for soccer? While they are working out, I have been walking on the walking path. One lap is 1.2 miles and I am up to four laps...that's only because the weather has been so cool in the mornings. I'm sure once the heat and humidity kick in, I will be down to two laps.

Anyway, in order to keep things interesting on the grill, I made a dry rub. I really haven't grilled with dry rubs at all...once maybe. This rub really turned out fantastic; the whole family raved about it. Dry rubs are going to become a staple with grilling in our home.

Add 3 tablespoons of dry mustard.

Add 2 tablespoons of garlic powder, 2 tablespoons of onion powder, 1 teaspoon season salt, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne and 1-1/2 teaspoons of smoky chipolte powder.

Thoroughly combine all ingredients. Generously sprinkle on both sides the the chicken and then gently massage the rub into the chicken. Cover chicken and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Allow chicken to sit out for about 15 minutes before placing on a hot grill.

My baby girl, Scout, was on deck (literally) to supervise.

Initially the chicken was seared for about five minutes, each side then moved and cooked with indirect heat for approximately 40 minutes.
