Easy Grilled Cajun Chicken

1 tsp salt

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp paprika

1.2 tsp black pepper

1/2 oregano

1/4 garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/2 c. lemon juice

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1) Combine the dry spices in a small bowl.  In a shallow glass dish (large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer), or a gallon size sip lock bag. Place the lemon juice and oil. Add half of spice mix; stir to combine.

2) Add the chicken breasts, turning to coat both sides.  Marinate for 30 to 60 mins. at room temperature or at least 2 hours to overnight in the fridge, covered.

3) Drain the chicken and sprinkle both sides with the remaining reasoning mix.  Place the breasts on a hot grill with the thin ends away from the flames.  Cook, turning once, until just cooked through, 3-8 mins  per side, depending on th wheat intensity and the thickness of the meat.
