Spicy Cajun BBQ Chicken w/ Creole Rice Dressing

When a cousin of mine and her family of four dropped by unexpectedly today, I told her that she was just in time for some barbeque chicken that I was grilling on the patio. I had made a big bowl of potato salad, this morning and had cooked the baked beans in the crockpot, last night while I slept. This spicy chicken is fabulous and the rice dressing, which was my mother's recipe, is divine. It was great to see them and we enjoyed reminiscing over a plate of Cajun comfort. Try this, you'll love it!
Cest bon, cher!
