The guys had spaghetti that hubby made- he put in a bit too much chilis in it and I couldn't face it right now; so I made a quesadilla instead. Probably a bad idea since I know dairy makes your sinuses worse.

Looking at that BBQ pics reminded me of something I used to do years ago, with chicken. Loosen the skin here and there, along the edges of the bird, just enough to get your fingers in there, rub on the seasoning, directly onto the meat, before replacing the skin, then BBQ. It allows the seasoning to really get into the meat when you cook it. Delicious!

We do that with chicken thighs. After de-boning them, peel the skin like opening a book, rub spices and tooth pick the skin back on and brush w/olive oil. Excellent method, same principle. Thanks for replying Sumi.

It's so easy to overcook chicken..sigh. We've finally learned to use a meat thermometer. And generally we'll take it off the heat when it's still a little underdone, wrap it in foil and it keeps cooking in the foil for a little bit which almost always brings it up to the correct temp without drying it out.

Are you doing a whole bird, or parts? Dark meat can take a bit longer than white meat.

I'm not a professional cook - but I ... I try, lol

DS is gonna fix dinner tonight as DH has come down with my bug and neither of us is up to it. I managed to stumble out to the freezer to grab some chicken thighs- that seemed fairly easy for him to do. I hope he gives us some kind of side dishes; he's apt to just plop an unseasoned baked chicken thigh on the plate and say there it is.
