Grilled Chicken

As mentioned in my last post, we had a party a few weeks ago. Beside the barbecued brisket, we made grilled chicken sandwiches too. It is a recipe I found on  the Pioneer Woman website. I was a little hesitant at first because of the olive oil in the marinade. I am not a fan of olive oil. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! The olive oil was not overpowering. The dish was flavourful. Though there were sweet ingredients in both the marinade and the sauce, it was not too sweet or syrupy. The bacon in the sauce added even more complexity to the taste.

I followed the recipe fairly closely, with only a few changes. (This is RARE. Often, recipes are like outlines for me.) Instead of all chicken breasts, I mixed in some chicken thighs. I also left the chicken in bigger pieces rather than cutting them into strips. I used Emril Essence as the steak seasoning. We (well, I mean my lovely husband) used foil pans on the grill because olive oil in the marinade was catching too much fire and over charing the chicken before it is done.


Was it delicious? Eww - So-so - Okay - Oh yum! - Delicioso
Was it challenging to make? (Easy) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 (Very hard)
Would I make it again? Oh NO! - We'll see - Maybe - Likely - Absolutely
