Such a great grilled chicken recipe. The chicken was easy and had good flavor. The best part was the salsa. I loved the combination of ingredients! Delicious!! I I used 1/4 t. red pepper flakes and it seemed to be just enough for our liking. I will keep the salsa recipe in mind to make on its own. Yummy!

I used 4 wings and 4 legs to make this. The marinated chicken was fine but the salsa was the star of the show! My son ate nearly half of it with tortilla chips while the chicken was grilling. I loved the grapefruit and avocado in it. I'm definitely going to make this great salsa often. Thanks for sharing a true keeper. Good luck in the contest.
