Either way, this was a fantastic meal. The chicken was flavorful with a tad bit of a kick. And the sauce... well you know how I feel about them, so do I really have to tell you? Ok, ok.. it was DE-LIC-OUS! I would have just spooned it directly into my mouth, but I'm pretty sure Chris would have fought me for it, so I decided to keep the peace and just dip my chicken in it. It was still really good!!

When I look at that chicken, part of me wants to go right out and get some kind of a grill. But I guess I won't. I'll start using the broiler more often.
I've never tried to "blacken" anything, so it looks great to me. But what really caught my attention was that Mayo Dipping sauce. Sounds great. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Oh, what amazing flavors in that meal!!!
There's something that just screams SUMMER about chicken colored red from delicious spices and black grill marks. It makes me drool!
What a delight. This really sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it. Now if it would only stop raining! Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Beautiful char-grilled marks on the chicken Jenn... and with the sauce, I would have fought for it too :)
Fantastic recipe, very good!
The reason it didn't blacken is because there wasn't enough metal to meat contact. To blacken on the grill you need a screaming hot griddle or cast iron pan so you get full contact. Just be careful when you add the melted butter, if you spill it into the fire, FAWOOSH! (that's the sound of burning eyebrows and bangs, lol)
This recipe makes me extremely happy. Bookmarked it!
