marinating makes it marvelous
Ok, so it wasn’t exactly marvelous, but I needed a word that started with M. If you have been following along with my cooking posts you are aware of my frustrations of making all the different chicken recipes taste any different from one another. For awhile now I have been meaning to see if marinating was the trick, and after trying out this recipe, I just may be on to something. This is an obvious solution to anybody who has spent anytime in the kitchen, I realize that, but I’m new.
So one day I picked up some chicken at the grocery store without knowing what I was going to do with it. The next morning I searched for a marinade that I could make with ingredients I already had in the apartment. BALSAMIC CHICKEN is what I found. Definitely could tell the difference as for once the flavor ran throughout the chicken. Unfortunately the flavor wasn’t ideal for our taste-buds, but it was still good and was just for the sake of experimentation anyway. Now if only I had a full size fridge so I could keep a half dozen chicken breasts in there in different marinades. A mini fridge just won’t cut it after this discovery!

Yes, marinating helps, but chicken is chicken – bland. It is how and what you cook it in that gives it any flavor, IMHO.
But the photo looks delicious!
I am sending you a chicken recipe that my friend SuzyQ raved about.

Yeah, using a grill will be my next experiment, but considering I do not have a grill that will have to wait. Got the recipe you sent and am so excited to try it out this weekend!
