Tonight I was sitting in the kitchen annoyed with what to cook. The menu was originally going to be chicken tacos. I got home and said NO I DON'T WANT THAT. So I stared around my kitchen for a second and noticed I had some clementines heading towards DONZO land and remembered I had bought a new flavored olive oil, Spanish basil. I combined them and the smell was awesome. It reminded me to post about that very thing. How sometimes you don't need a recipe to cook. Sometimes you just need to look around and use what you've got. Whats on the edge of it's life? What have you been meaning to use but just haven't? Take those mix em up and see what happens. I was sick of vinegars so I used the citrus instead. I was sick of regular oil so I grabbed that flavored "I'll use this some day" oil and went to work.
1 Package boneless skinless chicken
3 tbsp basil olive oil
2 clementines (or one orange) juiced (reserve peels for marinade)
1 pinch red pepper flakes
3 cloves garlic finely chopped and pasted
1 pinch salt
2 pinch's black pepper
Combine all ingredients in large storage bag. Mix and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Place on grill on medium low for 15 minutes. Turn and finish cooking. I like to place the orange halves on the grill to scent the chicken also.
