Kid Cid Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I was browsing through my copy of Joy of Cooking (a must have for any kitchen IMO) when I stumbled across a recipe for Tarragon Chicken. In there, they broil it which I must admit is not my favorite way of cooking things, so I made a couple of adjustments for the grill. This is dirt simple and comes out fantastic. For the wine, I prefer to use a Sauvignon Blanc but an unoaked Chardonnay would work as well. 4 shallots minced 1/4 cup fresh tarragon, minced 1 cup dry white wine 1 tsp kosher salt 2 Tbs unsalted butter 6 chicken legs or thighs In a 1 gallon zip loc freezer bag, combine the shallots, tarragon, wine and salt. Place the chicken in the bag and make sure the chicken is evenly covered with the marinade. Place the bag in a bowl and place the bowl in your fridge. Marinate for one hour. Remove the chicken and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken legs for 45 minutes over indirect medium heat, turning once. Melt the butter. Just prior to serving, brush the melted butter on the chicken pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KICK A$$ BLASTER Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Would this work with chicken breasts as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Would this work with chicken breasts as well? Definitely. The original recipe called for a whole broiler cut up. Ms Cid and I preferred the dark meat after trying it that way and went with the legs when I transfered the recipe to the grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
