Quick BBQ Chicken

i don't know why they call this BBQ chicken, b/c it isn't. but you can grill it, and it is very delicious.

1 tsp sugar
1 tsp chili powder
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp pepper
2 bone in chicken breast halves

1. preheat grill
2. combine first 9 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. loosen skin from chicken by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat. rub spice mixture evently under skin over meat. place chicken, breast side down on a grill rack coated with cooking spray. grill until done.

of course i used regular skinless, boneless chicken breasts b/c i don't like the bone in or the skinned kind. you always end up throwing the skins away anyway, and then you have to eat around the bone. so i did it with just the prepackaged kind. they didn't take long to grill, just like other chicken breasts. it was kinda of a mediterranean taste to it. i really liked it. chicken thighs might be good too b/c they would be a bit juicier.
