Coat the chicken pieces  with this spicy paste while the grill is heating. Brush on any extra during grilling. Serve with the Cucumber-Grape Salsa or your favorite salsa.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic, very finely minced
  • 2 chipotles (from a can of chipotles in adobo), minced
  • 2 Tbs. adobo sauce (from the can of chipotles)

    Superb! I have made this several times and have loved it every time! I brine the chicken first and then make it just as the recipe states. We fight over the leftovers! One of the best ways to do drumsticks or thighs.

    I've used this rub many times since it first came out in 2002. It's spicy but not hot. The lime creates a tartness that lends itself to lip smackin' satisfacation.
