Spicy BBQ Chicken

Made some spicy BBQ chicken this evening with creamy crunchy corn and a baked potato, yummers! You'll have to marinade the chicken for a couple hours so start with that first. I prick a couple russet potatoes, coat them with olive oil then salt and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 1 to an 1 1/2 depending on how large they are.
