They crack me up anyway, but I tend to see the funny side of life.
Take for instance Ryder’s comment while I wanted to get this picture.
“Mommie, I was thinking about chicken wings so I would smile!”
HA! Love those two!
Sunday I took advantage of pretty weather and idle boys and asked the men of the house to grill chicken.
Lincoln is getting a little more adventurous with his eating so I changed from his usual marinade
and tried this version. He actually loved it and it wasn’t too hot for him.
The team – garlic, agave nectar, soy sauce, lime, red pepper and chicken
Combine all the ingredients in a freezer zip-top bag.
Place the bag in a bowl in case you have a leak. I am really glad I always use the bowl trick because I did have a leak and the marinade would have been all over the refrigerator!
Marinade chicken at least 2 up to 6 hours then grill.
