Spice-Rubbed Grilled Bone-In Chicken

Kroger has $1/lb bone-in skin on chicken breast halves this week. So this was a cheap and good meal!

3/4 c kosher salt (or 6T table salt)
3/4 c sugar
3-4 bone-in skin on chicken breasts (mine =3 1/2 lbs for 3)

SPICE RUB:
2T cumin
2T curry
2T chili powder
1T allspice
1T ground black pepper
1t cinnamon

In a gallon size zip lock bag, dissolve salt and sugar in 1 qt water. Add chicken, then seal bag. Press out as much air as possible. Refridgerate an hour to 1 1/2 hrs. Remove from brine and rinse well and pat dry with paper towels.

Mix spice rub and rub all over chicken. Oil grill. Grill skin side down, 2-3 min on each side to get a nice well-browned exterior. Move chicken over to one side and turn off that side of the burners (in direct heat) and cover with foil. Shut grill and grill skin side up about 10 min. Turn over and cook 5 min more. Cook until 160 degrees. Slice off of bone and serve.

Quick Easy Homemade Pizza

I found this homemade crust recipe and really like that I don't have to let it rise til double, punch down and rise again. Plus, it's really good!
Tonight I substituted about 1/2 c of whole wheat flour to it.

1 c warm water
1 T yeast
1/2 t salt
1/3 t sugar
1 1/2 T oil
2 1/2-3 c flour
1-2 c shredded Mozzarella
1/4 c shredded Parm.
1 c your favorite sauce
Toppings of your choice
Preheat oven to 350.
Stir yeast in warm water until dissolved. Add salt, sugar, and oil. Stir in flour slowly. Form dough into ball and knead on coutertop 5 min (or in stand mixer about 2 min). When you press your finger into the dough it should spring back...then you know you've kneaded enough. I briefly knead by hand on a floured surface. Form into ball and let rest on counter covered by a towel 10-15 min. Press dough out onto pizza pan or stone and let rise in 350 oven 5-10 min. Take out of oven and turn the heat up to 425. Top with sauce, toppings, and cheese. Bake at 425 for 20-25 min.
