Chicken & Corn a la Casa de S.A.

Couldn't be more proud of our cousin Jose, who recently launched a spice company, Casa de S.A. https://casadesafoods.com/ . Bold flavor with a touch of spice and touch of sweet, the Tex-Mex Blend is the star of this simple chicken and corn preparation. This version consisted of a whole chicken cooked on a cast iron pan on the grill, but the spice mix will work with any poultry and cooking method. Use the leftover chicken for tacos, salads, rice bowls, elotes, sandwiches and more!

Ingredients

Whole chicken - Broken down - separate the wings , the drumsticks + thighs, but leave the chicken breast and cavity intact in order to allow for everything to cook at the same time.

This recipe includes searing on a cast iron pan, then finishing, all on the grill. This can easily be seared on the stovetop, then finished in the oven.
