Spice Up that Piece of Poultry
I’ve never been the most inventive cook. In fact, it took a wake-up call from my kids to get me to deviate from a long established routine. I had a solid repertoire made up of six or seven dishes that could be prepared without even thinking about it. One night, when I had some extra time on my hands, I finally succumbed to my kids’ wishes and branched out with a new recipe. My wife and I had been reminiscing about our Hawaiian honeymoon, most notably the delicious cuisine we experienced in the islands.
Rather than cooking my old standby – chicken breast marinated in Italian dressing – I decided to put a new spin on things by treating the family to some more exotic fare. I used an organic chicken dry rub to add delectable flavors and spices to the dish. Unlike previous dry rubs I’ve tried, this one really brought out the natural flavor of the chicken instead of masking it.
