You could do favorite side for Friday OT. Got onion rings, poppers, and others but I thought I would narrow it done for Fitz.

If I hire someone to move my garage, but take the gutters off first. Will that be easier and save money?

Thanks ***-guy.

A short WORK week. I was just giving Fitzy **** for being late last week. He has an excuse this week because midweek between Tuesday and Friday is later than between Monday and Friday.

All needling aside, you raised a legitimate query.

I like to marinate it in regular ol' Italian dressing for an hour or two (then add whatever spices you like after that).

Stuff that can dig under driveways and foundations are way worse than any of those.

I usually just use Italian dressing. Teriyaki and even BBQ sauce (slightly watered down) works well. I've created one using white wine, oil and spices but it's not much better than Italian dressing.

Thanks for the advice. I use Italian dressing for a pork marinade so I will try the same with chicken. When trying to grill chicken breasts, it usually goes from under-cooked to dried out very quickly. The marinade will hopefully help.

Lately I've been using the InstantPot to get some decent chicken breasts. I seem to be able to keep them somewhat juicy, and can throw some in and cook from frozen. YMMV.

 

[Fitzy]

Marinating is definitely a key point, I've also found if you tenderize/pound them out so they are an even thickness, helps a lot with getting them cooked evenly and taste worth while. I would agree, hind quarters or the whole chicken are my preferred cuts.

Anywoo, when you starting up that next game of mafia Fitzy?

Just read this and was reminded. Good question... May get a sign up thread going in the next couple days and try to start one next week.
