Ask Sticky to make something on the stove and he looks at me like I am speaking a foreign language. Suggest we grill for dinner and the man instantly has the giant tongs in one hand and a beer in the other.
Seeing how Father’s Day is just around the corner I thought why not throw the guy a bone and do a meaty post. Something so easy that even he will be able to make it in the future (with very little assistance). Of course he was the taste tester as I do not each such a thing as chicken..and since you are seeing it here you can bet it got a double thumbs up from the carnivore of our home.
(Raw chicken…it’s so gross. Really you guys, I need to move on from the below image quickly before I hurl.)
“Brand, you got to get me in action! That’s what they like! Just don’t get my hair, I look like a dingus!”
(For anyone who personally knows Sticky you can attest that that is exactly what the man said.)
Despite the fact that I do not eat meat, I have to admit that they chicken smelled soooooo gooooooood when it was grilled. When I checked the center to ensure it was cooked through, I could tell that it was extra juicy as well. I’m pretty sure those 2 things are solid indicators of some delicious meat.
Time to fire up that grill and do some celebrating of Dad! You may even get him to do the grilling part for you…just as long as you provide the cold beverage of course.
Enjoy!
- ½cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼cup soy sauce
- ¼cup Worcestershire sauce
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ¾cup brown sugar
- 2 fresh rosemary sprigs
- 1tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1tbsp spicy brown mustard
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1tsp ground black pepper
- 2tsp garlic powder
- 1tsp red pepper flake
- 3.5 to 4lbs chicken - any type
- Place all ingredients in a large baking dish or ziplock bag, seal and marinate for at least 4 hours. (Overnight is best.)
- When chicken is ready, preheat grill on medium high heat and lightly oil the grates.
- Remove each piece of chicken from marinade, allowing the excess to drop off, and grill on each side for 5 to 6 minutes. Baste in between grilling each side with marinade, just be sure not to baste when finished grilling.
- Place grilled chicken under a loose foil tent for 5 minutes, test the center before serving to ensure juices run clear. (If they don't, throw in a 350º oven for 5 to 10 minutes.) Enjoy!
