This recipe reminds me of summer. It has been a family go to recipe for any large picnic or barbecue or small family gathering. We modified it years ago to accommodate the sensitivities and allergies amongst us and whether the gathering is old, young, or a mix everyone is happy with the flavors of this.
The use of poultry seasoning really makes this chicken sing. My spice cabinet currently has four, yes, FOUR, containers of poultry seasoning because we find ourselves making this recipe on vacation, camping trips, or when visiting friends. For whatever reason, I never think to pack it.
The original recipe calls for split chicken breasts, remember it is an old recipe and my grandparents and great grandparents were farmers, with chickens. They did not use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Still, the recipe will work for any cut of chicken, but without the bone the marinating time should be reduced. This is still best with the split breasts, but for convenience (and my bone averse daughter) we often use the boneless, skinless breasts. Ah, how times have changed. I wonder if we all lived the way our grandparents and great grandparents did, would we have all these allergies and sensitivities?
