Oh this is soooo good! I have several types of fresh herbs I grow in pots on the back deck and this fit the bill!!!! The flavor of the combination of herbs were so delicious.. I didnt' change a thing with this recipe.. The only thing I might do is go a little less on the salt. I think its important to let the herbs sit on the chicken and between the skin and meat for an hour as stated. I made this with grilled corn on the cob with basil butter and a few grilled summer squash. caesar salad on the side.. I will make this again .. thanks L. Duch for the great post.. I'm always looking for new ways to use my fresh summer herbs...

I was making pasta Alfredo and wanted to put chicken in it but was unsure what to do with it. I dumped all the spices into a plastic bag and shook the chicken up in it. I let it sit in the fridge for about an hour then grilled it on the stove in a grill pan. Sliced it into thin strips and served on top of the pasta. It was the perfect compliment. Thanks for the great recipe.:)

This was great tasting and very moist! Some of my thighs must have been off of mutant chickens so I had to add an additional 15 minutes to the cooking time. I skipped the paprika as I don't care for it, but otherwise, made as written. Made for the "HOT, SPICY AND TASTY JUNE 2009 Event."
