There just ain’t no thing like those easy grilled summer dinners, guys.

These dog days of August when it’s likely still nasty hot outside and summer schedules are still in full swing specifically call for THOSE kind of dinners.

So here’s what we’re doing about this whole chicken sitch up in your face today. —>

Slightly-spicy, yet insanely flavorful cumin spice rub on your chicken.

Unbelievably-quick cook time on the grill until juicy and perfect.

Basic garden-tomato summer salsa thrown together with only FIVE ingredients. Dip, eat, repeat.

Pile ‘er in a nice high heap on top of your gorgeous chicken, take a big step back, and admire the dinner wonder you just pulled together in only 20 freaking minutes.

^^^^ virtual high fives all around. We deserve ’em.

Also we deserve to stuff our faces with this grilled chicken until around December. Yes?

So much yes. So much summer goodness, so little time, but watch and see if that slows me down. ???
