    i love Mickey's determination, man.  regardless of the question, he just posts what he does, whether the OP asked or not, or whether it's germane to the question.  that is some stick-to-it-tiveness, and very good forum-proper form.

    -"Does lemon help the rub stick?"
    answer: here's a chicken with some bacon on it.

    never change, man!

    @RRP , if time allows for it.  I like to make an infused oil for my chicken.  

    Canola oil heated in a skillet.  

    Toss in garlic

    Lemon zest 

    Thyme 

    Salt

    Pepper

    Whatever else you feel.  

    Let that cool, then I juice the lemon and add to that mixture and rub liberally to the chicken and to make sure it's well under the skin (this is the key).  I'll work my fingers all around under the skin to ensure proper contact with the meat is completed.  I like to let that sit for a while too to penetrate to the chicken.  

    Really after that, a rub isn't required.  Maybe a little more S&P.

    Damn Darby, you pissed about somthing or just in a bad place. I respond as to how this forum has ran from day 1 (yes, I was posting on day 1). 
    Now as to the lemon: why not just stick it up your ass! You and those like you are the reason we have lost so many good people from this forum. 
    Please don't forget the lemon......

    @blasting I think that'd work.  lemon breast chicken is pretty similar

    Why did you take it so angrily mickey?

    i think it is funny is all. 
    It's a quirk of your personality. We all have them

    you can't deny you do it. And it doesn't hurt

    what i dund funny though is that you haven't ever really interacted with me wver, in maybe ten fifteen years. And you explode like that. Like you have been waiting

    hey. I love the naked ham, the daisy wheel in the trash. It's all good

    i haven't run anyone off. For what it's worth

    i answer questions. That's all. With fact, not opinion

    i might once or twice "go off", like you just did. But only when provoked usually

    i don't participate nearly as much in the threads here that get people riled. Once or twice, maybe. But i don't start them or drop totally unrelated politcial generalizations into them. THAT's the stuff that drives people away

    i seriously wasn't angry with you or mocking. But hey, nice to finally hear what you think of me

    same for OP. Angry at me perpetually. Regardless. 

    Interesting way to live

    Exactly, fish. It's how i can also tell he apparently has never liked me, or my posts, because he never replies to them. 

    In New England, we give you grief because we like you. We ignore you when we don't. 

    For example. I like Zippy. Therefore he will be hounded relentlessly by me whenever he shows his shiny forehead here. 

    But steven? Since i despise steven with the fire of a thousand suns, i never reply to him. I actually have him blocked here so i can't see his posts. That will teach him!

    I like lemon chicken, it really go well together.  Below is what I have done.  I guess you could change out the butter with your choice of oil.

    I have done in the past what my family calls lemon, garlic chicken.  Squeeze some fresh lemon into a sauce pan, with butter, garlic and some pepper.  simmer for a few minutes till they are all melted together.  Let cool a little.  Take a gallon Ziploc and put some chicken breast, legs, thighs and wings into the bag and pour the mixture over the chicken.  Place in the fridge for a on hour or so.  Get Egg up to 400 either direct or indirect, your call.  Pull chicken from the bag and place on the grill and cook till done.  I also will reheat the sauce and baste the chicken every 15 minutes or so while it cooks.  

    I haven't done this in a long time and I may have to do this again soon.  I don't have an exact recipe for how much of this or that, I go by taste of the sauce.  I start with about 6 or 7 lemons, a stick or two of butter, sprinkle in garlic, pepper and salt to taste.   If I do this soon I will post my results.

    I like you Darby. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge that you bring to the table. I enjoy the straightforward, no nonsense type answers that you give. Keep on keeping on brother. I would like you even more if you was a southerner though =)
