So I went to my parent’s house for dinner…meaning I was likely going to make it, and what did they take out to thaw?? Chicken….woo hoo. We are always eating chicken. Between some Asian, Italian or BBQ version the Winslow family eats a lot of Chicken!
I remembered that there was an article in my Food Network Magazine about different variations of chicken wings and while these were chicken strips I figured we would survive. By default we had to make the Caribbean Chicken since we had all but one of the ingredients. The others either required breading (my brother’s allergic to wheat) or our pantry was lacking a serious amount of the recipe. So in an attempt to stray away from one of our typical family meals my mom and I began pulling out everything we needed.
I read further into the recipe and soon discovered that the poultry needed to marinade for four to six hours. Since it was around eight o’clock, I threw the chicken in the fridge until the oven pre-heated. Four hours…10 minutes…whatever. Needless to say the chicken was different. It was edible, with leftovers. Fortunately we had beans and rice on the side so no one went hungry. It was a change but nothing I need to make again or share. Perhaps sticking with the same old recipe isn’t that bad. Lesson learned.
