I came up with the idea for this chicken in an effort to create a meat dish to go with the black beans and rice I was planning for dinner. (I didn't have quite enough beans to make them the main course!) This chicken turned out so good...sweet, spicy and sticky. A perfect complement to the beans and rice!

2-3 lbchicken pieces(skin removed, if desired)
-
1/2 cbutter

1/3 choney

How to Make Cajun Butter-Basted Grilled Chicken
- Combine melted butter, honey, parsley, cajun seasoning and lemon juice and whisk til smooth.
- Preheat grill. Place the chicken pieces on a platter and brush the top side with the basting sauce. Place basted side down on grill and grill about 10 minutes, until browned. Baste and turn to the other side and grill 10 more min. until other side is browned. Turn grill to low, or move chicken pieces to an unheated area of the grill and cook over indirect heat with the lid down for about 15-20 more min. Baste and turn chicken a couple of more times during cooking. Cook until chicken reaches 180F internal temp.
