Recipe: Ranch Chicken with Dill and Seasoned Rice Vinegar

Ranch Chicken with Dill and Seasoned Rice Vinegar

Serves 4 to 6

Velvety-smooth with a light herbal finish, this chicken marinates in bottled ranch dressing, seasoned rice vinegar and dried dill. The marinade comes together in seconds. Grilled or broiled, this chicken makes a refreshing and satisfying light, low-fat hot entree, or pack it cold for warm-weather picnics.

Marinade:
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar or rice vinegar with roasted garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, or to taste

1 chicken, cut into pieces, skin removed

Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken pieces in a nonreactive dish or plastic zipper bag and coat thoroughly with marinade. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Heat the grill, grill pan, or broiler until very hot. (Before heating, coat the cooking surfaces with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking). Cook the chicken pieces on each side until cooked through, basting occasionally with the marinade. Serve an extra crack of fresh pepper.
