Ingredients 

1/2 cup smoked Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
8 pieces (3-1/2 pounds) Gold'n Plump® Bone-In Chicken
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, cut into thick wedges
2 large red and/or yellow bell peppers, each cut lengthwise into 8 pieces

 

Instructions 

Heat grill for indirect cooking. If using a charcoal grill, move hot coals to one side of grill. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.

Mix paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a resealable plastic bag. Rub chicken with oil; place pieces in bag and seal. Turn bag several times to coat chicken with seasoning.

Place chicken on grill on the side opposite heat source. Cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes on each side or until chicken is no longer pink near bones. During the last 15 minutes of cooking arrange bell peppers and onions directly over heat source; grill until golden and tender.

Serve chicken with grilled vegetables.

Tips 

Nutritional information may change when substituting your chicken product. If you choose to substitute frozen chicken for this recipe, it's best to thaw before cooking.

Variations 

You may substitute sweet Hungarian paprika for the smoked Spanish paprika if you prefer a milder flavor.
