Lana's Herbed Chicken note: don't go beyond the 48-hr marinade.

I let this second batch go for 3 days (72 hours) and while still good, there was definitely more of a "tang" to the chicken then there was at the 48-hour mark.

And I STILL haven't been able to test it out over coals. This time I added LIGHTER FLUID to the DB (damn briquettes) and while they flamed brightly (just like my hopes), I was in BED before they turned white enough to use for charring.

See. Yet MORE PROOF that I would have DIED if I existed during a time where I had to cook over fire, preserve or grow my own food.

Full Disclosure: I go to bed IN THE DAYLIGHT (8:30 PM) now that I have a 4:00 AM alarm, thank you very much LM.

 
I think the 24 hour marinade gives the best results. I went 48 hours on a spatchcocked

chicken, and while it was still good the meat had a gray color and had pulled away from the bones, especially the breast meat.

 
That's good to know

since I plan on giving them a try for a Friday night supper while we listen to Lyle Lovett play with his Large Band in an outdoor venue in Lowell.

 
aw, bless. Honey, the grill I bought cost $9.99 and came with a free bag of briquets.

I think I'd need to save up to buy your beauty!
