Well, chicken for dinner yesterday. We didn't feel like the usual BBQ or marinade, so I decided to try something different. It was quick, simple, and tasty.
First, the marinade:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
3 garlic cloves, minced.
Whisked it all together and poured over some chicken legs and breasts in a plastic bag. I let marinade for about 3 hours, flipping the bag whenever I walked by...
I lit the charcoal and brought the grill to about 400 F and placed the chicken away from the heat. After 30 minutes I rotated the chicken and let cook for another 30 minutes, 1 hour of total cooking time. Then I pulled them off the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. As you can see, nice and golden brown...
As the chicken was cooking, I made some Italian Style Rice for a side. Here is a link to the recipe. I am not sure when turmeric became an Italian spice, but it was good none the less.
Final results...
The chicken was tender and juicy with a good Italian and garlic flavor. The red wine vinegar added a nice tart taste that was not over powering at all. The nice was a good compliment. Creamy with a hint of spice. I will be making this again for sure.
Thanks for stopping by...
