It's nearing respectable temps here in Nebraska, and that means High Grilling Season is about to take off. While grilling is a year-round exercise, there's nothing quite like warm weather, a hot grill and a beer in a koozie to make a guy appreciate life's great wonders. I'm going to start this thread by pimping one of my favorite websites: AmazingRibs.com. If you don't know this website yet, get familiar with it now. It'll change your life. Tonight I started with something simple: Simon & Garfunkel Chicken. It's a blend of herbs from the Simon & Garfunkel song . The rub: Ingredients 1 tablespoon dried crushed parsley 2 tablespoons dried crushed sage 1 tablespoon dried crushed rosemary 1 tablespoon dried crushed thyme 1 tablespoon dried crushed oregano 1 tablespoon dried crushed basil 1 tablespoon dried crushed bay leaf 1 tablespoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon sugar Mix it all up in a bowl, and boom. Done. For my meal I used maybe one tablespoon on some legs & thighs, my favorite parts of the chicken. I lightly oiled my parts, then put them on direct heat at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes, then indirect heat for maybe another ten minutes. I ended up with crisp, slightly charred pieces with a nice golden crust. I tossed on a tbsp of the rub, then allowed it to cool while I made some potatoes & gravy and a salad. Finished with a touch of salt on the chicken and served. This rub lasts for ages. I think I've had about 1/2 a cup of this stuff in my spice cabinet for going on a year, and it's still great today. 4/5 stars. Would definitely make again.
