I’m saving the breasts for a different meal.

Chicken was on sale for $1.59 a pound and I got my Cambridge Analytics Facebook class action lawsuit and decided to spend some of my $37 on grilling some chicken

Cost per person including charcoal: $5.

      I don’t include recipes because most of the time people don’t care and it’s extra work when you post almost every day like I do.

      But they are available on request.

      Greek seasoning
      Batch size: 1 cup.
      5 Tbsp dried oregano.
      3 Tbsp dried basil.
      3 Tbsp garlic powder.
      3 Tbsp onion powder.
      1 1/2 Tbsp dill weed.
      1 Tbsp salt.
      1 Tbsp dried thyme.
      1 Tbsp dried rosemary, crushed.
      1 Tbsp dried parsley flakes.
      1 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

      The marinade for the chicken was 1/3 cup of the above Greek seasoning with 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Shake it all up. Probably would add another teaspoon of salt to the whole mix.

      I got a chicken that was just over 3 pounds and butchered it into the standard 8 eating pieces and saved the backbone and guts in the freezer for some future stock use.

      Chicken parts and marinade went into a a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and marinated for 3 hours. Wish I’d gone a little longer.

      Fired up the charcoal grill and got it to just shy 400°. Cooked legs, wings and thighs for about 30 minutes each. Left the breasts on for about 45 minutes.

      Potatoes was this recipe scaled down to about half.
