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.
