Mediterranean Rubbed Chicken

This week I have the privilege of co-hosting Fiesta Friday with Loretta of The Safari of the Mind. Loretta and I are thrilled to join Angie’s wonderful Party! Fiesta Friday is a great way for fellow bloggers and visitors to check out new and interesting posts and add their own posts into the mix. I welcome all of you to join in the fun by clicking on the link at the bottom of today’s post or linking directly to Fiesta Friday #120. Loretta and I will be visiting all participating posts as this week’s Fiesta Friday representatives and features selectors. Let’s have some fun!

Today’s Mediterranean Rubbed Chicken is a flavorful addition to the Fiesta Friday party! Crushed fennel and cloves are combined with sweet brown sugar and savory onion, garlic & cumin and rubbed all over chicken breasts, thighs, drums and wings…then grilled to perfection. So much flavor…you’re going to love these!

Mediterranean Rubbed Chicken
1 whole chicken, cut up
(or 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 drums & 2 wings)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 tablespoon cloves, crushed

Heat the grill nice and hot (500 °F). In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, red pepper flakes and salt. Using a mortar & pestle crush the fennel seeds and cloves until fine.

Place the chicken breasts, thighs, drums and wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the Mediterranean Rub and toss to coat thoroughly.

Place chicken on the hot grill and cook 25-40 minutes until chicken is fully cooked, turning occasionally.

Remove from the grill and place on a platter. Allow to sit for a minute or two to redistribute the juices. Dig in!

Enjoy!

    1. Thanks Julie! We eat a lot of chicken in our house too – so I’m always trying different spices and combinations – everyone loved this one! So I think you will too! 💗
