The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Last Minute Chicken

I'm having a few friends and family in this weekend for Patrick's Baptism and we decided at the last minute to stay in Friday night.  Our tradition is to go out and relax on Friday night's (yes, with the kids in tow!).  Knowing that I always have some sort of chicken in the freezer, I got out my grilling cookbook again this week.

From Cuisine Tonight Grilling:

Chicken 'Parrots'

1 T each garlic powder, dried thyme leaves, chili powder, paprika and kosher salt
1 t black pepper
1/2 t cayenne
3lbs chicken (recipe is originally for wings, but I did boneless breasts)
1/4 C sriracha sauce (spicy Thia pepper - or just use hot sauce)
1/4 C honey
Juice of 1 lemon, lime and orange

1. Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil.
2. Combine seasonings for the rub.  Line chicken on baking sheet and sprinkle with rub.
3. Roast until cooked through, about 25-40 minutes. 
4. Turn your grill or broiler on.
5. Mix sauce, juice and honey and coat the chicken.
6. Grill 3-5 minutes, basting and flipping

Family Factor: Good, quick meal
Time Factor: last minute always works for me!
Stomach Factor: kinda spicy
