Grilled Vinegar Oil and Honey Chicken

-
 Sizzle into Summer with some simple grilled chicken!


If you are looking for a super easy, basic recipe for some really tasty, juicy grilled chicken that isn't loaded with lots of extra calories from a beefed up marinade, look no further.

I had some boneless, skinless chicken thighs on hand and didn't want to make them like I usually do and suppertime was very near and I still had no plan. Can you identify to that panicky feeling? The kids usually have a bit of an after school snack but it's usually something like fruit or yogurt which doesn't last all that long and by 4:30 - 5:00 I'm usually hearing queries of  'what'sforsuppermomI'mstarving!' It takes a lot of food to fill up 3 teen boys in case you were wondering.☺ I was looking for some clues through a cookbook or two when I thought of this very easy lifesaver. My reason for no plan was entirely my fault and easy to explain. The weather has been gorgeous and who feels like cooking when you could be outside? Not me, that's for sure! I could live off of fresh fruit and nuts or a smoothie or something simple like that but I'm pretty sure the boys would not appreciate only that! Anyway, here's the easy ingredient list if you'd like to try it out this weekend.

9-10 Fresh Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs, cut into pieces
1 pint water
1 pint Apple Cider Vinegar
¾ cup Olive Oil
¼ cup Sea Salt
½ cup Clover Honey
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Combine in a medium sized bowl and stir to dissolve the salt and the honey. Reserve about 1½ cups for basting. Place chicken pieces into vinegar mixture and marinate for 30-45 minutes. This is the amount of time I had till I HAD to get it onto the grill but next time I might do it a bit longer? Get the grill good and hot then place chicken pieces on the grates leaving room in between each piece. Grill chicken till tender and juices run clear, turning frequently. Baste with each turn using reserved marinade. I had put the marinade into a small bottle to make this easier, just shake it onto the chicken pieces. When it's done I like to let it sit covered for about 10 minutes to allow the chicken to steam a bit and reabsorb the juiciness.


Love to hear that sizzle! and the smell was so tantalizing! Yum. Serve with a green salad and you have a delicious, quick, easy meal. Perfect for summer or weekends. Enjoy!

~Be Blessed!~

    That looks terrific! Lol, I'm a bit like your boys. If I don't have a snack, and 4:30 comes by, I'm pretty well famished.

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
