Steps:
- Brine the chicken: Combine 4 cups water, 2/3 cup salt, and the brown sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and whisk until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and transfer to a bowl or pot large enough to submerge the chicken. Stir in 6 cups of ice water and let cool completely. Submerge the chicken in the cooled brine, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Take the chicken out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Remove from the brine and pat dry completely.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat: For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
- Whisk together the paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter, and then pat on all of the dry rub mixture.
- Grill the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up on the indirect side of the grill, with the legs facing the hotter side of the grill. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer reads at least 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding the bone), 50 to 60 minutes. The chicken will be quite dark and blackened in spots.
- Remove from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Steps:
- Melt the coconut oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the peppers and stir-fry for 2-3 mins or until they start to soften.
- Increase the heat to high and add the chicken along with the Cajun seasoning. Fry for 3-4 mins more or until the chicken is cooked. (Check by slicing into one of the larger pieces to make sure the meat is white all the way through, with no raw pink bits.)
- Microwave your quinoa following pack instructions. Stir the remaining ingredients through the quinoa, then pile onto a plate and top with the chicken and pepper mix.

CAJUN SPICE CHICKEN WINGS WITH REMOULADE SAUCE
Hot, crispy wings dipped in a cold, creamy sauce provide a great contrast in texture, flavor, and temperature. This New Orleans-inspired version of Buffalo-spiced chicken wings uses a technique that does not include a deep fryer so it's easier and less messy. By using baking powder in the spice rub, these wings stay super crispy!

Steps:
- Prepare spice rub by combining baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, oregano, and thyme in a small bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Place wings in a large bowl and toss in 3 tablespoons spice rub. Toss wings with tongs until thoroughly and evenly coated. Transfer to a baking rack set over a parchment-lined sheet pan. Sprinkle a little more spice rub over each wing and let sit for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Prepare remoulade sauce by crushing capers in a mixing bowl with the back of a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, cayenne, paprika, garlic, green onion, parsley, and lemon juice; whisk to combine. Taste and add salt if needed. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
- Bake wings in the center of the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip and continue to bake until beautifully browned, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Serve with remoulade sauce.

Steps:
- Mix together the oil, herbs, spices and garlic in a large sealable bag. Put the chicken breasts in the bag and mix thoroughly to cover. Bash the chicken with a rolling pin to flatten it a little, then set aside to marinate for at least 15 mins.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the bean salad. Stir well and set aside.
- For the guacamole, scoop the flesh from the avocado and put it in a medium bowl, chopping it roughly with the side of the spoon. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. If you prefer your guacamole to be smoother, mash the avocado well with the olive oil and lime juice until it's at your preferred consistency before stirring in the other ingredients.
- Heat the grill. Line a grill pan with foil, place the chicken breasts on it and grill for 5 mins, checking occasionally. Once golden brown, turn and grill for a further 5-7 mins. Check the middle of the breasts after 5 mins and, if cooked through, remove from the heat.
- Set aside 2 chicken breasts and 2 tbsp guacamole for Open rye sandwich (see 'goes well with', right). Place 1 warm chicken breast on each plate, with some bean salad and a dollop of guacamole on the side.
