3 Ideas for Chicken Recipes Made With Chili Nilly

1. Cut up and coat a 2-3 pound chicken with generous amounts of Chili Nilly, then leave in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes covered. Prepare your outdoor grill or countertop grill as indicated for chicken- a medium-low temperature is best. Alternately, start out with a hot grill to sear chicken momentarily on both sides, then turn down the temperature to the desired heat. Grill on both sides until the chicken reaches an inner temperature of 165. Serve with baked or roasted potatoes, sweet potato fries, or your favorite starchy side dish and plenty of green leafy vegetables for a healthy meal your whole family will love.

2. At Chili Nilly, we think the best chicken seasoning should be versatile, so we’ve come up with a secret recipe that also works great for chicken in the smoker. Use our Tex-Mex seasoning just as you would a dry rub and then place one or more whole chickens inside of your smoker for 12-24 hours, until it reaches a safe inside temperature; we’re sure you’ll agree, Chili Nilly is one of the best dry rubs for seasoning chicken- smoked or grilled.

3. Add Chili Nilly to your family’s favorite BBQ sauce and brush over chicken pieces before placing in a 400-degree oven, then continue to brush on additional layers of spiced-up sauce every 20 minutes for one hour, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and falling off the bone. Be sure to reserve some of the Chili Nilly-infused sauce to serve at the table along with your perfectly-cooked BBQ-ed chicken- goes great with split Brussel sprouts roasted in the oven with garlic and olive oil.
