Get ready to rock the grill with this wonderfully fragrant, spicy chicken. The bold marinade includes hints of cinnamon, cayenne and thyme. —Judy Kamalieh, Nebraska City, Nebraska
Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 envelope italian salad dressing mix
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 chicken leg quarters
Directions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first seven ingredients. Remove skin from chicken; if desired, use a sharp knife to cut through the leg quarter joints. Add chicken to marinade; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Drain chicken, discarding marinade. Place chicken on greased grill rack; cook, covered, over medium heat 35-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°-175°, turning occasionally.
