Grilled Chicken Thighs and Roasted Vegetables

Posted on June 24, 2021 by cookinginsens

For a while, I was quite enthusiastic about boning fowl, pieces and whole. Once I, foolishly, boned a whole turkey; beautifully stuffed, but not an easy job. Now a days I stick to pieces only, like these marinated then grilled … Continue reading →
