Barbecue Grilled Chicken

It's finally getting warmer outside, which means it's time to fire up the grill! 
One of our new favorite recipes is Against All Grain's Grilled Barbecue Chicken. It's so fast and easy! 
I buy thighs, which is always better for grilling with the skin still on. 

STEP 1: Pat and coat completely with the following dry rub:
  • 1/3 cup coconut crystals
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt (I use regular)
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 2 teaspoons oregano leaves
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mix the rub together in a small bowl, pat on the chicken, and save leftovers for next time!  There is always extra, which I love. This week I made 8 chicken thighs, and I still had plenty left. I store it in my spice cupboard and then the next time I make this recipe, it's extra easy and fast.

All ready to be put on the grill

STEP 2: The key with this recipe is when you're grilling, make sure you do it low and long (Or you'll get some under done chicken.. I know this from experience :). Total cook time on the grill is usually about 35 minutes. For the last 10 minutes of grilling, baste the chicken with barbecue sauce. I make my own from my Meal's Made Simple Cookbook by Danielle Walker. It's sooo flavorful, and isn't full of high fructose corn syrup, and all those nasty sugars... honey is your sweetener. 😊 Let me know if you need help finding a good barbecue recipe, but there is a lot online/Pinterest.
My plate from supper the other night; BBQ grilled chicken, Parmesan potatoes, and peas sauted in coconut oil and salt in a skillet.

ENJOY! Be sure and comment if you make this, I'd love to hear from you!

    Well I haven't made this yet because I'm just sitting at work reading it today, but it sounds so yummy (even for a non-healthy eater like myself ;)). Can't wait to get more recipes from you!!

         This is one of my favorite, easiest meals! It's great for company, too. Each time I've made it someone has commented on it. It's even Whole30 friendly, and can be either baked in the oven or grilled. I love this with roasted sweet potatoes-Yum yum! Whole30 Marinated Chicken Thighs from Just Jessie B.

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
