tasty tuesday's: tasty observations

....I know this post is a day late, but I'm doing my best to get back on schedule. You'll have to be patient with me. :)
   So this isn't really so much a recipe as it is just an observation about cooking. Graham and I have been doing our Slow Carb Diet again from Tim Ferriss' book The Four Hour Body. Needless to say....we eat a LOT of chicken. And chicken breast can get a little bit tiring.
   However, chicken thighs never get tiring! Here's how it all happened. A few weeks ago we had dinner with all of Graham's family and we cooked out chicken. At the end of the night the womenfolk (my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and myself) came to the conclusion that the thighs tasted SO much better than the breasts. And noticed there were no thighs left over, but some chicken breasts....So when we started the Slow Carb I told Graham that we were going to try thighs instead of breasts and that made all the difference in the world for us!
    The meat is a little fattier, but on this diet that doesn't matter for us and it makes the meat a whole lot tastier! :) It's always moist and juicy and obviously tastes good with anything! (It is chicken after all...) So here's our favorite way to cook chicken thighs so far....Enjoy! :)

   Mrs. Dash Zesty Chicken
What you need:
    - 4 to 6 chicken thighs, skin on, bone in (or skinless if you'd like a less fattening meal, but you sure are     missing out on the delicious, crispy skin!)
    - Mrs. Dash's marinade (we used the Zesty Herb one...mmmm....)
    - grill spray

What you do:
    First, take the time to cut the meat away from the bone before you marinate and grill it. That way it grills much faster and it's much more enjoyable to eat when it hits the plate. Next, follow the instructions on the marinade bottle. I think this specific one says to just marinate the chicken ten minutes prior to cooking it. Then, spray the grill with the grill spray. The meat is going to be very moist and if one piece sticks to the grill the whole piece could fall apart into the grill! Tragic. Grill to perfection. And enjoy. You'll have a flavorful, juicy, delicious piece of chicken. And this is great for summertime because it's pretty healthy (gotta watch that figure...it is bathing suit season ;)  ) and using the grill in the summer is so fun! It really makes it feel like summertime.

    So I hope you all try this and can benefit from my tasty observation. Let me know what you think!
