Special Precautions and Tips: - If you don't have a spicy chicken rub, you can make your own by combining chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. - To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. - Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
