  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ¼–½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional for more heat)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • Thyme, oregano

  • Black pepper, salt

Marinate 20 minutes to 4 hours for deeper flavor.

  • 1/4 c. olive oil
  • 8 inch cast iron pan

Transfer chicken to hot pan, seasoned side down. At this point, you may sprinkle unseasoned side of Chef Hans Seasoning, if you prefer spicier. Cook 2 minutes on each side, then remove pan from grill. Place chicken on grill and finish cooking. 

Use mitts when handling pan being careful not to spill hot oil on grill. Goes well with potato salad, tossed salad, macaroni salad or any other cook out salad.
