Shopping the sales these days and chicken thighs (or legs) were on sale for 99 cents a pound. I picked up a package this afternoon, as well as some other meats of which I might write later this week if I do anything interesting. Life has been busy and I’ve not been experimenting, but relying on tried and true recipes. Those seem less interesting to write about, but I remind myself that my original goal with this blog was just to record what I cooked for a year and help me find those recipes again!
I marinated the chicken thighs in:
- 1 cup Italian dressing (your own homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
Then I barbecued them (about 25 minutes), having finally refilled my propane tank. Note to self: NEVER try to fill a propane tank on Memorial Day weekend. It ain’t gonna happen.
Served with rice, cooked carrots, and garlic bread.
I actually bought the “max pack” of thighs and marinated the whole bunch. Only cooked half of them tonight, so I threw the rest in the freezer.
Well I marinated the whole max pack thing, which was probably a few pounds. I only cooked what I thought we would eat, so probably 4-5 thighs for 3 people. But the marinade just needs to coat whatever you have. And even if it doesn’t coat it all, just rotate the bag or container now and then in the frig.
you didn’t mention how much chicken for the Italian dressing.
