This is a recipe that I do a lot of variations on. The basic ingredients are: chili powder (hotter the better), cumin powder, onion powder, garlic powder, olive oil, pepper and salt. Spread that basic rub all over the chicken legs and thighs. I like hot legs and thighs.
To really boost the flavor I also squeezed in a few limes and even added some lime zest. Add all of this into a zip top bag and let it marinate for at least an hour or two in the fridge. These limes I bought from Acme a few days ago were excellent. I've been using them in everything from chicken to gin and tonic's to mojitos.
Often I cook chicken with indirect heat. This time I put them directly over the coals for about 20 minutes. You really need to watch your heat with chicken though to make sure they dont burn. If the grill starts to get too hot then just move the chicken to the other side of the grill and finish them with indirect heat.
