Hello! I'm SO excited to bring you this recipe! However, you do need to enjoy a little 'spice' in your food. This is a healthier take on the popular 'Nashville Hot' chicken. Many chicken type restaurants have this option on the menu. Of course it's ok to indulge every once in awhile on the deep fried, extra breaded, over sauced deliciousness....but if you want it more often without sacrificing flavor-this healthier version is for you!

- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp cayenne (or ground red pepper) increase for more heat
