Chipotle Lime Grilled Chicken

Combine the cayenne pepper, salt, dark brown sugar, and smoked paprika in a medium mixing bowl.

Whisk the mixture together thoroughly to break up any clumps in the brown sugar and distribute the spices evenly.

Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight container or glass jar and seal tightly to preserve flavor and prevent moisture absorption.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources; use within 3-6 months for best flavor.

Apply generously to meats, poultry, or vegetables before grilling, using approximately 1-2 tablespoons per pound of protein.
