Nope.....
I'm feeling a bit creative today. It may take a little longer, but not much.

This is a thread about having fresh herbs at you're disposal for those special times. It doesn't take much space for a small herb garden.

Oregano, basil, thyme, sage.

Get a pile going and mince it up. I decided to add in some garlic.

Then make a paste with your herbs and olive oil and I added some high quality fig infused balsamic.

Salt and pepper your chicken, then rub that glorious paste all over. Get under the skin and everything. Yea! feels good!

Cook in indirect heat on the Kettle. I put foil under to catch the drippings, but more importantly, a small piece of red oak on the coals for a kiss of smoke.

When the chicken was done, I moved it over the hot coals for the final color.

Fresh herbs make a nice garnish too.

A simple Friday night dinner that was kicked up a notch.
Chicken with parsley potatoes and green beans.

Everyone who likes to cook needs a small herb garden.
 
I love seeing a beautiful mince job like this...

I'd of been quite pleased with myself if I'd done that.
 
I get nervous when my wife asks me to cook. I figure she is plotting something devilish.
