Food For Thought: Bombshell Chicken

As summer arrives, BBQs, swimming, camping trips, etc, come by. They are good times with good people. But even better, they all come with good food. Now at Jess's recent bbq at Jon's house I made a chicken marinade that seemed to be popular. Well if you are having an upcoming event, make this chicken. We will call it, Bombshell Chicken. Something different than just soy sauce or bbq sauce with Tabasco. And if they ask where'd you get the recipe, tell them Bombshell yo.

What you need list.

- Chicken ~ Drumsticks and thighs seem to be the best for bbqs. Easy to eat and big enough.
- Cilantro - Half a bunch.
- Green Onion - Half a bunch. < "Bunch" is the amount they sell at the store.
- Oregano - Half a bunch.
- Garlic - 2 Cloves
- Ginger - About the same amount as garlic.
- Habanero Pepper - 1 - 2 each. 3 if you're a man.
- Orange Juice - 1/4 cup (Also can use the peel of an orange for more flavor.)
- Soy Sauce - 1/4 cup
- Grapeseed/Vegetable oil - 1/4 cup
- Apple Cider Vinegar - 1/8 Cup
- Lime Juice - 1/8 Cup
- Salt and Pepper to taste.

What to do.

Blend everything together in a blender or magic bullet(except for the chicken). Taste and adjust with seasoning. Cover chicken. Be sure not to use bare hands mixing with chicken (habanero will burn your hands). Could be used as a marinade or sauce. If sauce add more orange juice to make it milder.
Grill and enjoy.
