how to season chicken for the grill when you forget to marinate it

When life is flying by faster than you can keep up with, something is bound to fall through the cracks.

For me, it’s often getting the chicken out of the freezer and thawed in time to get it marinating.  While I usually freeze chicken in a marinade in a freezer baggie, but sometimes I can’t even manage to get that done when I get home from the grocery store.

So when I forget to marinate it before freezing, or if I forget to marinate it (even for just 30 minutes), or if I change the meal plan at the last minute and decide to do chicken on the grill, this is what happens…

  • Add some olive oil to a rimmed plate.
  • Sprinkle some grill seasonings on the oil. (This is McCormick’s Garlic and Onion Grill Mates blend.)
  • Place the chicken on both sides.
  • Let sit until ready to go onto the grill.
