Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium heat.

On a plate, combine cinnamon, allspice, garlic salt, thyme, table salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of lime juice; mix to a paste. Brush both sides of chicken with seasoning paste; set aside for 10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine salsa ingredients.

Grill chicken for 10 minutes; flip and grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes more. Cut each chicken thigh in half to serve. Yields 3 pieces of chicken (1 1/2 thighs total) and about 1/2 cup salsa per serving.
