Best Moms Messy Chicken Recipes

MOM-MOM'S CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• 2. In a small saucepan, saute the onion in a small amount of butter, until soft. Set aside.
• 3. Chop up the hard boiled eggs.
• 4. Combine the cooked chicken, celery, onion, eggs & soup. Mix well. Pour into the prepared casserole dish.
• 5. Open the sleeve of Saltines crackers & spread a little butter on each one. Then take several at a time and crush them onto the top of the casserole. (Yes, it's messy, but trust me... It's good!)
• 6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly on the edges and the crackers are a golden brown.
• 7. Cook's Note: This can be mixed ahead of time & frozen for later (minus the crackers). Just add the buttered crackers right before baking. Also, this is a great way to use up leftover chicken meat. I have made it with thigh & drumstick meat and it was great!

MOM'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, rosemary, chile flakes, nutmeg, salt, pepper and garlic. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag and pour the marinade in, coating all of the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate, refrigerated, 1 to 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to come up to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade. Place the chicken pieces skin-side up on the indirect-heat side of the grill and close the lid. Cook the chicken until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Move the chicken pieces over to the direct heat side of the grill and cook until nicely charred and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
