Marinate & Penetrate 2 - Chicken Skewers

Try coating the chicken pieces with olive oil before skewering - it keeps the juices in and the meat will char enough to give flavor without being burned.

Easiest Chicken Marinade - just cut up the chicken pieces into a covered container or zipper storage bag, and add olive oil, soy sauce, and crushed garlic. (I buy the pre-crushed kind in a jar)  Let marinade for 30 minutes before skewering.  Grill on medium heat for 20+ minutes depending on size.


My thoughtful cousin gifted us with this grill basket.  It is terrific for veggies or seafood that you would normally cook on foil to keep from dropping through the grill grids.

I stuffed these huge mushrooms with a mix of butter, italian breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon and chives. Mushrooms work out quite well on the grill - the moisture is able to drain away, leaving a nice solid texture to the mushroom.
