Chicken Your Way: A Delicious Twist on Grilling with Guest Participation!

[nikkies]

I have an idea for the chicken your way theme.

I am planning on cooking 3 different chicken breasts in three different rubs. I will have ready a caesar salad, a pasta dish and maybe a pizza to go on the grill, all waiting for chicken from my grill pan.

What do you think? To add guest participation, I could have them do some slicing, chopping for grating for these items.

I was also thinking of finishing the demo portion off with either the molten lava cake or the new Rocky Road Brownie since both are quick and easy.

Do you think this is too much?

I do! Maybe just pick on thing to do with the chicken - salad, pasta OR pizza. I only do 2 rubs and find it hard to keep track of 2 let alone 3 when it's off the pan. If you want to do the dessert then pick the molten lava cake, don't do another full recipe like the brownie dessert. We are there to show off products not fix them dinner.

I think it would be fun for an open house, but I agree that it's way too much for just a Cooking Show.

You can TALK ABOUT what you would put your chicken on - the pizza, the salad, etc...but actually DOING it would be alot. Your costs (and time) would go up. Not to mention it makes your job appear much harder than it has to be, so could be a turn off to potential recruits. I would just do the chicken portion and let them taste it. Then you can talk about the rest and make their mouths water.

However, you could make it a twist on Power Cooking with Chicken! Have your host buy a bag of caesar salad, dressing and all - slice the chicken you cooked fro the salad, then put it in a storage container; slice veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions, zucchini) put in ziplock with dash of rub, have chicken with that rub cooked, chop with salad choppers, put in another container, and all you need is pasta, a can of chicken broth (for future dinner later in week) - add pasta to dcb with broth, cook about 12 minutes, add veggies and chicken, cook 2 minutes, toss. Then use the third piece of chicken to make pizza for the guests. Have extra veggies prepared, grate some cheese, and open a can of marinara sauce.

I don't think it'd add more than 5 minutes time since the chicken will already be cooked, just needs to be prepped. Plus it's Power Cooking! Perfect time to prepare for back to school.
