1. Dry chicken with kitchen paper, then cut diagonal slashes over the smooth side. Mix spices with seasoning, then tip onto a plate.
2. Brush the chicken on both sides with the oil, then coat all over with the spice mix. Heat a barbecue, griddle pan or grill, then cook the chicken for 5-6 mins on each side until cooked through. Serve each portion with a dollop of guacamole.

Using the BBQ?

If you are cooking the chicken on the barbecue, corn on the cob goes really well with it. Brush the cobs lightly with oil (but don't use seasoning as salt will toughen the corn), then cook for 5-7 mins, turning frequently, until lightly charred.

  I couldn't get hold of any cayenne pepper so I used chilli flakes instead, which worked great. The other thing was, I followed the spice mix exactly, but found that it didn't seem to be quite enough to cover both breasts properly. I had to scrape some off the first one to give the second a good coating.

  Like the other people who commented said it needs a lot more coating. I tripled it to cover all 4 pieces. I'm also cooking with a gas oven and found it needed twice as long under the grill. But it is a really nice recipe, and the guacamole was a lovely combination.
