chicken and potatoes foil pack...grill -(video)


please double click this picture to see the beauty!!



Again a HUGE thank you to Wanzer... !!! this was so great! and on a hot day i didn't want to turn the oven on...perfect timing on this meal for sure!! So below is the original email he sent me and beneath it is the what i did! The beauty of cooking.. You make it YOUR own!

Chicken and potatoes on the grill.

First we usually use some heavy duty foil to make a foil packet or foil tray whatever you want to call it. Found that making it yourself is cheaper first of all but easier to work with because a homemade packet you can take the top off to see everything cooking.

take your chicken whatever you decide to use whether it be boneless breast, thighs or legs you get the point. I like thighs with the bone personally. Get a 30 min marinade, whatever you personal taste is.

get some potatoes whatever you like, whether it red or white or whatever the hell kind of potatoes out there lol!! Slice them up into thick slices but not to thick. (with skin on) We generally slice up an entire onion (optional) You can add other things but we generally keep it simple chicken potatoes and onion.

Put it all into your homemade foil packet (coat the bottom with I usually use olive oil so it doesn't stick to much). Season to taste, I usually use season salt and GOYA Adobo all purpose seasoning. your call what you want there. like I said before I like to keep it simple. Seal the packet up get the grill going like a medium heat if using propane toss the packet on and forget about it. Usually takes about 20 min but I like to cook it just a little longer because it is chicken... so about 25. Give or take. It gives you time to cook a veggie to go along with it because I like to cook something green with it.

THIS IS WHAT I DID:

2 chicken breast- pounded
marinated in 1/2 cup of Italian dressing and 1 tbl of mayo (30 minutes or more)

foil pack sprayed with olive oil non-stick spray: chicken, sliced red potatoes,  chopped white onion... sprinkled... Chicago steak seasoning...sea salt and cracked black pepper... added 1 tbl of butter (real butter) to the top! (my weakness)

wrapped it up tight, and put it on the grill.. for easy sake..please PUT THE LID ON THE GRILL... haha it will be done it 25!
