Report
This juicy, tender Turkish-inspired grilled chicken is wonderful on its own, in wraps, sliced thin in sandwiches and it's super delicious in salads.

Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with foil or plastic wrap for easy cleanup. Lay chicken out on prepared pan.
- Combine all rub ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Stir well to make a wet paste.
- With your hands, coat the chicken on all sides with the rub, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill until all sides are golden, charred with nice grill marks. Turn every couple minutes, about 8-10 minutes per side. Internal temperature should be 165˚F.
- Enjoy with Turkish Flatbread and/or Turkish Tomato Cucumber Salad!
