Spicy Grilled Chicken with Goat Cheese Sauce

A week or so ago, I was craving wings.  I do not know what brought it on exactly, but it's a fact.  Unfortunately, I did not have wings on hand and had no ambition to go to the store to get some.  So, what's a girl to do at that point?   Well, this girl, just decided to improvise.  Now, I didn't want buffalo wings... I wanted just a good wing that had been sprinkled with a nice amount of pepper, garlic salt and cayenne.  Simple.  Which actually made improvising that much easier too :)  Now, since I was having "wings", I had to make a sauce... and a goat cheese sauce just sounded like the thing to make. This meal accomplished exactly what I had hoped it would.... it fed my craving for wings and made sure I did not have to make another trip to the grocery store!!
