For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the spice mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, in the refrigerator. If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Omit the orange juice. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Adjust the amount of hot paprika to your desired level of spiciness.
