No matter what you make, they want to add just a little heat to it. So why not just start them off with the heat in this spicy chicken rub and all they’ll be looking for is a glass of water. And maybe a break from the heat. Or a creamy cool dip to quench the spice.
Low Carb Recipe for Spice Lovers
This Buffalo Chicken Spice Rub recipe came about because my husband is always reaching for sriracha or buffalo sauce to sprinkle on his food. Even though the carb load in those is negligible, I thought a change up of the standard low carb grilled chicken would be delightful. It certainly was! I wanted to knock his socks off with a “just for him” dinner, and this recipe delivered. For the kids I made a mild barbecue chicken because this is not child approved, my hands were even tingling after dipping and rolling the chicken in it.

I think this sounds delicious but my hubby is very spice sensitive so I get all my heat when we go out for dinner.
Mmmm. Love the healthy spin off buffalo wings!! Love it Laura! Xoxo 🙂
Jeffrey says that it probably will not be spicy enough for him. I must prove him wrong! Lol!
Well if he LOVES spicy stuff you might want to double the cayenne and the chipotle! Wooohbaby!
Not sure if I could handle this one…I might need a lot of ice cream afterward!
