Kitchen tip. Seasoning bone in chicken breasts

This is not a recipe so much as a tip. I bought nine in chicken breasts because I think they taste better, but seasoning them so the flavor gets into the chicken means a lengthy brine or injecting the chicken, so I have a weird method.

Slice the chicken open but don’t cut all the way through. Then open it up.

Sprinkle seasoning liberally. I used Szeged chicken rub for this.

Adding the run directly to the meat helps the flavor actually get into the meat. Putting the rub in the skin makes the skin tasty, but not the meat. Close it back up and place in a cast iron skillet. Bake in the oven on 400 or in the pan the grill. When it was fine, I added a tablespoon of butter to the hot pan. Remove the chicken and make a reduction sauce if you want.

Carve up the chicken. These were very large, so I was able to feed four people with two breasts. Served with salad, vegetables and rice.
