    1. In a bowl combine sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, and salt, then mix in flour until a soft dough forms.

    3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).

    4. Brush chicken with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili powder.

    5. Grill chicken 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through and charred, then let rest and slice thinly.
