This Grilled Spiced Chicken with Crunchy Apple Salad reminds me of a celery and apple salad that my aunt used to make for lunch when I’d visit her. It is full of texture and flavor from the crisp celery and the crunchy apples – make sure you choose fresh crunchy apples like Braeburn or Fuji.
The chicken takes its flavor from a spice rub made with paprika, coriander, ginger, a little bit of fiery cayenne, cumin, and some salt. The chicken is grilled whole and cut up at the end just before serving so it retains all the juicy flavor.
To make my Grilled Spiced Chicken with Crunchy Apple Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the grill to medium-low.
Mix the paprika, coriander, ginger, cayenne, 1 teaspoon cumin, and ½ teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. Pour in 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well.
Rub the spice mixture into the chicken until coated evenly.
Place the chicken on the grill, bone side down. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Turn the chicken and continue to cook for another 15 minutes until a thermometer inserted in the thigh reads 165°F. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before chopping up.
Place the honey, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper in a large salad bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
Add the apples, celery, and scallions to the bowl with the dressing and stir well to coat evenly.
Add the lettuce to the bowl and stir to mix.
Serve the chicken with the crunchy apple salad for an amazing summer meal.
