How Do You People Spice Up Your Chicken

[Musicguy]

Great with chicken or pork: fresh sage.

Also: dried or fresh chives, and marjoram.

Cook the chicken in a skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray (or just use a little grapeseed, peanut, or coconut oil if you don't mind the fat)

Sprinkle with a little salt/pepper, and after it's half done, add the herbs. Cover, but not tightly (so steam can escape), and you'll have delicious chicken, juicy inside, but with a nice crusty exterior. If you have an abundance of fresh sage (it's easy to grow, BTW), the cooked leaves are quite good.

Grow it!

You might be able to find it in an Oreintal Market but I haven't seen them around. Best bet is to find someone you know who grows them and get a few stalks and freeze them for storage. You could also try to grow some but they grow about 4-5 ft high. The look just like any other decorative grass but they are very fragrant.

for anyone interested: this is what i'm talking about Cymbopogon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the stalk is used for cooking purposes, usually minced, chopped, diced, or blended.

There is no recipe forum and most of you guys are talking marinades and rubs. If you want a real treat that is harder to read than do check this out. I made it for supper Thursday and my wife almost ate the pattern of the dinner plate.

Give this a try.

Size 18. chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing
1 cup of uncooked popcorn
Salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 220c.

Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt and pepper. Fill cavity with
stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end towards the
back of the oven. Listen to the popping sounds. When the chicken's arse
blows the oven door open and the chicken flies across the room, it's done.
