Chicken

I am a big believer that the best recipes are the ones that don’t need 50 ingredients to make it delicious. About 15 years ago, we were making something from a magazine and there had to be 20 ingredients. It was nuts and the sad part was that after all the work, the recipe fell flat.

I feel bad for those poor souls who can’t grasp the concept of grilling in the middle of winter.  A little snow never stopped me!

I adore our Apricot Baked Chicken, but, if you notice, it is cooked indoors, on a cast iron skillet. This uses completely different ingredients and so much easier to grill.
