| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 12/31/2007 11:56:52 AM | Not sure if this has been mentioned..BUT! I tried some stuff called Walkerswood Jerk Marinade and its simply the best on the market that I can find. Its a very spicy unique taste that you will get addicted to if you give it a shot. (and of course if ya like spicy!) Marinate for a day or overnight, all ya need! Grilled /smoked slowly is the best way, the chicken forms this nice little reddish crusty outside on it and its to die for; best beer drinking alternative to hot wings I've had yet! You can use this marinade on fish, pork and other stuff but regular old Chicken legs works best for me (peel the skin off of them to get the marinade down to the real stuff!) You're welcome (cause I promise ya, you will thank me later; everyone else has for this nugget) You can make the jerk seasonings yourself BUT I suggest just shelling out the 4 buxx and rolling with it...

| Rotisserie Posted: 1/1/2008 7:07:38 AM | | I have had a Ronco Rotisserie for at least ten years and use it almost every week and it makes any chicken taste great ,I guess it is because the marinade keeps flowing through the food constantly as it turns .I also use chicken legs ,backs attached with the skin on and the fat just drops off and leaves a great moist taste. Marinade your chicken over night with a half a cup of beer and sprinkle with Lauries seasoning salt. Ronco rotisserie,s are cheap and they last for years .You might want to try the bigger one that does a turkey. | |

| Rotisserie Posted: 1/1/2008 8:42:57 AM | | I had just tried something different this year with my turkey, but I think it would work just as well with chicken....I brined my turkey. It was so juicy and tender, I got lots of compliments. The only thing you may have to overcome, is the brining process, which involves salt, tends to make the meat look pink even if it is actually cooked (I used a meat thermometer to verify the doneness)...if you can get over this visual, you will have a very moist bird that can then be BBQ'd or baked.....Another recipe I've used for chickens when cooking them on the BBQ is the beer can recipe. Again, very moist, tender bird! Both of these methods/recipes can be easily searched on google. | |

| Rotisserie Posted: 1/1/2008 11:34:18 AM | | Hope? Nigella Lawson did that on her Xmas show this year! They said it was juicy and awesome! | |
|
| Rotisserie Posted: 1/1/2008 12:24:01 PM | | Yes I did see it on Nigella's xmas show, but I think I got it from another show on the foodnetwork...i guess it was just this years fashionable thing to do with turkey, and having tried it, it was great! Like I said, it would work great for a chicken, and then put on the rotisserie, or bbq or oven.... | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/14/2008 3:18:40 PM | if you were referencing the walkerswood I "have" done it on the fly (for just a couple of hours) but if you give it a good 12-24 hours, tasty! seems like the flavor really takes off with a full day or so. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/23/2008 11:14:04 PM | We do several different ways, here's a couple ideas... Which I am sure a lot of people have suggested already!
1. Marinate in Italian Dressing, you can find the fat free too, and it's still great and better on the tummy. 2. Marinate in Teriyaki sauce. We marinate for about 4-8 hours, I am sure overnite is better, but I don't usually think that far in advance. 3. I LOVE to take my B/S Chicken and coat them with a flour mixture. I do Flour, Garlic, Salt, Pepper, Onion salt, Cayenne Pepper, and some seasoned bread crumbs. Then I fry them with some butter on the top of the stove, once browned I put them in the oven to finish cooking. So yummy and tender and juicy. And you can mix the flavors up with the coating to anything you like. 4. I love for a easy clean up and easy one dish meal I take my Chicken breast in a large casserole dish, and put the boxed stuffing over it, spices and all. Add the water and try to get teh stuffing as moist as you can. Then I cut up some potatoes into smaller chunks into the same pan. Cover with foil and put into the oven with a little butter to keep the meat from sticking, and you need it for the stuffing also. But the meat absorbs the flavor of the stuffing, which I like, and it keeps it all moist and warm. Then when you take the tatoes out you can smash them and do what you like, and have a 1 pan dinner. It's easy. 5. I also like to make kabobs with my chicken. With your favorate fruits or vegi's on the grill. I put chunks of chicken, Onions, green peppers, mini tomatoes, pinapple... Those are my faves... But grill them on up and you get tons of flavors, colors, and textures in your dinner and it's so healthy.
Yup, think that's it for now. I am sure there's more I do, but it's 2:15 in the morning and I am beat! Good luck with your chicken. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/24/2008 8:21:03 AM | If you like mexican dishes, here is an idea for you.
Chicken Quesadillas
1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken breast 1 pkg of Lawry's chicken taco seasoning pkg of mexican cheese, shredded butter garlic powder seasoned salt Flour tortillas
Put chicken in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer until done. Remove chicken from water and let cool slightly. Discard water. Take a fork and shredd the chicken breasts. Return shredded chicken to pan and add seasoning, water and cook according to package directions. ( I use a little less water so the chicken isn't soggy.) Prepare tortillas - lightly spread butter on one side of each tortilla ( you will need two for each serving) and then sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and seasoned salt. Heat a griddle pan on med-high heat. Place tortillas, butter side down on griddle, top with some cheese, chicken, and more cheese. Top with another tortilla, buttered side up. Cook on each side until lightly browned. Serve spanish rice, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/25/2008 7:20:39 AM | Here are the 3 ways that I cook chicken breast: 1) Grill = salt & garlic pepper, then cook til done then. Apply a liberal coat of Buls Eye BBQ sauce, then leave the chicken on the heat and allow the BBQ sauce to dried until it become sticky. DO NOT BURN THE BBQ SAUCE.
2) Oven = Salt, garlic pepper, lots of lemon pepper - 350 until done
3) Stove To = Salt garlic pepper, lots of lemon pepper. Cut the into 3/8" thin fillets. A very think layer of olive oil in the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Cook quickly on med high heat. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/28/2008 8:04:16 AM | Hi guys!
My favourite way to cook chicken breasts is pretty simple. Use your knife to make a slit in the side of the breast. Spoon a little pesto into the pocket. Put a few pieces of fontina cheese on top of the breast and wrap the whole thing in prosciutto (Italian cured ham). Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, and I guarantee you'll love it! | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/28/2008 8:40:40 PM | Someone has probably already said it but I didnt read but your post; but marinate the chiken in a baggie with fat free italian dressing on it. Stab a few holes in each skinless bonless breast beforehand with a fork. Thats what I do..
Broil or bake it in the oven. too hot/too fast will make it tough. A little lower will do well. Get a digital thermometer (even Lowes sells them!) and use that for internal temp of the meat. Thats my two cents.. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/28/2008 9:40:46 PM | | Perhaps marinade is thinking inside the box. Try pounding the boneless breast flat and then whatever u make will be tender. I like to crust and fry and then simmer in a lemon/brown sugar for a picatta. Or can cut into peices first and fry and then simmer in the lemon chicken recipe or packet or a bottle sweet and sour sauce and put over rice for a fancy seeming complete dinner in no time. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/28/2008 9:44:30 PM | I guess its all a matter of what is in your fridge and spice rack?
Recently I went to the store and pretty much racked up on all the spices that sounded yummy, plus a few that I'd heard of.
And have you got a slow cooker? I looooovvvvve mine. I use it frequently and you can make the most delightful soft and tender meat dishes with the perfect amount of flavour. I had a yummy clam chowder that I made pretty much from scratch (with the exception of the fact the clams and salmon were both canned.)
Basically - if you like the flavour of the spices you mix, you should like the final product. If you aren't confident about just random mixing - put the spices into a separate bowl to mix before adding to the chicken. | |

| plz..some new ways to marinate/ cook chicken Posted: 1/28/2008 11:38:56 PM | Chicken Adobo
Chicken thighs - as may as you want, I use a large family packed (skinned) 1/2 cup white vinegar 1/2 cup soy sauce (sodium reduced if you prefer) 1/2 cup brown sugar
Add all ingredients in a large stockpot on the stove. Cook over med heat until chicken is cooked ~30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Use the excess sauce to spoon over rice. It doesn't get any easier. Yummo | |
