Which spices to put on grilled chicken

My son uses a lot of fresh basil and rosemary on his chicken. It is easy to grow here and is hardy. All you have to do is snip a few twigs and you have it.

 

:iagree: But I'm an imposter :jester::cheers:

 

I ended up buying 2 different bottled marinades from Kroger. I think one is a ginger teriyaki and the other is lemon herbs. I'm gonna try them this weekend and will report back. I'm also gonna do the italian dressing. By Monday I should be clucking!~

 

Love the rosemary and basil idea. Have you ever put wet hickory chips in your grill? The smokiness makes anything taste wonderful!

(Make a tube out of heavy duty aluminum foil, then roll up at least a cup or so of soaked chips. How many you need depends on how long the meat will cook. Leave the ends open so the smoke can escape. Lay it directly on the heating element or coals.)

 

If you're using a Foreman grill vs a real outdoor type - be careful with how much marinade you leave on the chicken. The marinade will sometimes burn and stick to those types of grills. It should wash off since they're non-stick, but makes cooking a little more difficult. Good luck! :lol:

 

Well...since I am in the spice business, this is an area I am experimenting in quite a bit now. Might have to hook up with you and let you take a few samples home with you to try out. All of the ones I work with are not sold in the stores. I deliver to restaurants, country clubs, assisted living facilities, etc, etc. Lots of low sodium stuff, too. My favorite for chicken is either our poultry seasoning, calgary chicken seasoning or lemon pepper. We have a roasted garlic pepper that is to die for!

 

I have not tried it, but I believe my son may have. I will mention it to him. I know he tried a variation of beer can chicken with mesquite chips soaked in beer once which was really good.
