# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

14 - Lime wedges (optional)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F.
02 - Pat chicken breasts dry. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Evenly coat both sides of chicken with the seasoning mixture.
03 - Brush husked corn with melted butter and season with salt and black pepper.
04 - Place chicken on the grill. Cook 6–7 minutes per side, basting with barbecue sauce during the final 3–4 minutes on each side. Cook until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
05 - At the same time, grill corn, turning occasionally, until browned and tender, about 10–12 minutes.
06 - Remove chicken and corn from grill. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
07 - Arrange grilled chicken and corn on plates. Garnish with chopped parsley and lime wedges if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The spice rub takes 30 seconds but makes the chicken taste like you fussed for hours.
- Everything cooks on the grill at once so cleanup is almost nonexistent.
- Its naturally gluten free without any weird substitutions or compromises.
02 -
- Baste with barbecue sauce only in the final minutes or the sugar in it will burn black and taste bitter.
- Letting the chicken rest isnt optional. Cutting too early means dry chicken no matter how well you grilled it.
03 -
- Oil your grill grates right before cooking so the chicken releases cleanly with those beautiful grill marks.
- If your corn is out of peak season, a tiny pinch of sugar in the melted butter quietly saves it.
