Bonnies Grilled Chicken Food

BONNIE'S EASY GRILLED WINGS

Steps:

• 1. First, make the rub. Mix all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and pour into a small shaker.
• 2. Pat the prepared wings very dry with paper towels so the rub will stick, and place them in a ziploc bag. Using the shaker, shake the rub very generously onto the chicken in the ziploc bag, then turn the pieces over and repeat. Close the ziploc bag and gently knead the chicken pieces so the seasoning coats each piece evenly. Leave the chicken pieces on the counter in the bag for 20 minutes before grilling. It helps the rub to stick.
• 3. Grease your grill grate so the wings won't stick. I used an indoor grill. Adjust grate a little higher than normal. When the wings were a golden brown, I turned them over and tented the wings with tinfoil to hold in the heat. Cook until the wings are done. They turn out perfectly. You can also use an outdoor barbecue with a lid. Be sure not to overcook the chicken wings.
• 4. Serve with carrot and celery sticks and Blue cheese dressing for dipping (or eat them without dipping).

BONNIE'S POPEYE'S FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• COOKS NOTE: This makes a lot, so sift and store remaining flour mix in the freezer to have on hand to make more fried chicken. While this is not a difficult recipe, do read it through and assemble everything you need before starting.
• Grease a 9 X 12 X 2 inch baking pan, set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put enough corn oil into a heavy roomy skillet to fill it one-inch deep. Get it hot but not smoking.
• Dip chicken pieces 1 piece at a time as follows: Dip a piece into dry mixture, then into egg mixture, then into cornflake mixture, AND briskly briefly back into the dry mix. Drop the coated piece into the hot oil, skin side down and brown 3 to 4 minutes on medium high heat. Turn and brown other side of each piece. Don't crowd pieces while frying.
• Now place the pieces in prepared baking pan skin side up. Seal with foil on 3 sides only, leaaving 1 side loose for the steam to escape. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes removing the foil then to test tenderness of chicken. Allow to bake UNCOVERED five minutes longer to crisp the coating. I advise using a meat thermometer as in some altitudes, it may take 50 minutes to get done.
• Leftovers refrigerate well up to 4 days. Do not freeze leftovers. You can store the "mix" (the 1ST BOWL ingredients) at room temperature in a covered container up to 2 months. I have also stored it in the freezer.

THE BEST GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Working with one chicken breast at a time, place the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound with a meat mallet to 1/2 inch thick then transfer to a large bowl.
• Combine the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallion whites, garlic, olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper to a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn the chicken a few times to coat then submerge in the marinade. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no more than 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, heat a grill to medium.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade to a large platter, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Grill, covered, flipping once halfway through, until a digital thermometer registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Thinly slice the scallion greens on a bias and sprinkle over the chicken. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
