Tailgate Chicken

Regardless if your team color is purple, or red, or orange; it is that time again.
Dust off your mini Weber grill, lay down the tailgate, and paint your face.
It's football season, y'all!

And while overly passionate and nasty fans that talk too much trash bum me out; fans who welcome any team to pull up a chair and enjoy the game make me smile.  I have the perfect recipe for grilled chicken that can be enjoyed on sandwiches or cut up in bite size pieces and shared with a hungry vivacious crowd.

The best recipes are the ones where you don't dirty your measuring cups. So just go with the flow and feel the freedom of less dishes to wash. After all, we are tailgating!

Tailgate Chicken
Chicken breasts
olive oil
salt and pepper
smoked paprika*
Worcestershire

Salt and pepper the chicken, generously sprinkle with smoked paprika, drizzle with olive oil and Worcestershire. Let marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes. Throw on the grill for about 20-25 minutes.

*My brillant cousin introduced me to smoked paprika recently and it changed my life. Do not try to substitute paprika for smoked paprika. They are extremely different. Go ahead and add smoked paprika to your spice cabinet. It will change your life also.
