How to Make Spicy Voodoo Chicken

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade.
  4. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked through.
  5. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite Southern comfort dipping sauce (e.g., honey mustard, ranch).
