Thread: Got any tips for making chicken taste good?

Getting bored with bland old grilled, fried chicken, and those sauces out of the jar it just does nothing for me and now try to avoid including it on the shopping list. Last night I had an attempt at making my own chicken coating with some boneless breast we had in the freezer. So I got an egg and a bit of milk beat em together and soaked the chicken breasts in it for a few hours probably would have been better soaking in the milk and egg over night. So while that was soaking I ransacked the cupboards to find what ever I could to mix up to make a coating, threw together some flour, mixed herbs , paprika, salt and pepper as that was all I could find preheated the oven to 150 coated the chicken and put in a pan loaded with oil and quickly cooked the chicken till the coating was golden brown then biffed in the oven to finish cooking on a rack once cooked it was time for the taste test and I was surprised how much better it tasted but was still missing something, I reckon it could have done with a bit of garlic and a few more herbs for a bit more flavor but I think I am on the right track going to get a few more bits and bobs from the supermarket for a bit more experimenting already in my thoughts are oregano, garlic powder, onion salt and marjoram any other ideas from the tasty grub gurus on here.
