K’s Kickin’ Chicken

January 23, 2015 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

The experimental chicken…which I will now call K’s Kickin’ Chicken came about in a cold and boring night. Is anyone else bored with the daily fare? I am tired of coming up with dinners, I often say. The reality is, I’m tired of the same thing every week, like I have a one page menu to pick from. I know I can do better, but boredom makes apathy for me and I settle. Eggs, anyone?

Well, this night a few weeks before this post, I had been home after a couple days of real bad luck (car battery dead, dog got a UTI, i-Phone cord bit the dust, expenses going through the roof on my car and everything…). I needed something to pick me up.

Thawing in the fridge was one very large but lackluster chicken breast. Boooo! I also had a broccoli head to eat up. So all day I thought about that chicken. Balsamic glaze? Standard bake? Ranch infusion? None of it. Not even fried. Get the phone. I’m calling for Chinese!!

Then, this flickered into my mind…

K’s Kickin’ Chicken

For two bone in breasts of chicken:

2tbsp melted butter

4tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

1/8 tsp garlic powder

Dash or two salt

1/8 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp Tabasco

1tbsp chili sauce (not spicy)

Mix ingredients. Dust the chicken with flour so sauce sticks. Brush on gently.

Bake at 425-50 degrees. About 30-35 mins.
