Make This!!

Bug Juice Chicken!

A little sweet, a little salty, a lotta good!! I found this recipe in The Seattle Times last week. It sounded so good & received so many rave reviews that I decided to make it this week. I am so glad I did. It's such an easy & tasty dish.
Mix garlic powder, ground ginger, onion powder, poultry seasoning, soy sauce & lemon juice in a small bowl.
This is the poultry seasoning I used: McCormick's Montreal Chicken Seasoning.
 I found it at Costco over the summer.

Pour the marinade over 6-8 bone in chicken thighs.
Let the chicken marinate in the sauce for a minimum of 5 minutes.

I let my chicken marinate for a little over two hours (and I flipped the chicken occasionally).
I have to add: Omid came into the kitchen at one point & looked skeptically at the chicken. He didn't seem so sure of what we were having for dinner. When it was finished & he had taken his first bite, he pronounced the chicken "delicious!"

Voila! Crispy crust on the outside, tender & juicy on the inside.
