Wash your hands with soap and warm water. Use a knife to trim off any skin and/or excess fat. Wash the chicken pieces using cold water, and pat them dry with a paper towel. If the chicken pieces, such as wings, thighs, and legs, still have the bone in them, consider leaving the skin on. If you need to defrost the chicken, do so in the fridge or in the microwave. Do not defrost chicken at room temperature. Place the chicken breasts inside a plastic, re-sealable freezer bag. Seal the bag, then whack the chicken with a rolling pin or meat pounder. The bag will keep the juices from splattering all over your kitchen. When you are done, take the chicken breasts out of the bag and rinse them. Pounding the chicken breasts flat ensures that they cook evenly. Butterflying the chicken involved taking out the backbone and breastbone. This will allow the chicken to lie flat on the grill, and speed up the cooking process. To butterfly a chicken, do the following: Cut off the neck and remove the giblets. Place the chicken breast-side-down and cut down both sides of the backbone. Pull out the backbone and discard it. Pull open the chicken, like a book. Cut away the breastbone, then pull it out. Discard the bone. Combine all of the ingredients for your marinade in a plastic, re-sealable bag. Add the chicken, seal the bag, and leave it in the fridge for 4 to 12 hours. For a classic lemon and herb marinade for four chicken breasts, you will need: 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 4 large garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoons lemon zest, from one lemon 1 teaspoon salt teaspoon dried oregano teaspoon freshly ground black pepper You can put the rub onto the chicken just before you grill it, or let it marinate for one hour. Simply mix your rub together, and pat it into the chicken. For a simple rub, you will need: 4 teaspoons kosher salt 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons chili powder 2 teaspoons dried cilantro 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes Combine the salt and water in a large pot, then add the chicken breasts. Unlike with marinating, the longer you brine is not better. Leave the chicken in the brine for only 2 to 3 hours; any longer, and the chicken will turn rubbery.

Problem: Article: For best results, use sidewalk chalk instead of chalkboard chalk. It is much more pigmented. The more chalk you use, the more paint you will have. Use two different colors to create a new color! Place the bag with the chalk inside of it on top of a hard surface, such as a wooden board or a sidewalk. Hit the chalk with a hammer several times until it turns fine and powdery. Take this time to create more colors. Use one color of chalk per bag. If you are using a thin bag, such as a sandwich bag, place a paper towel under it, and another one on top of it. This will keep the bag from ripping. Make sure that the jar is big enough to hold at least 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water. If you smashed multiple bags of chalk to create more colors, use a separate jar for each color. Use If you one piece of chalk, use (120 milliliters) of water. If you used two pieces of chalk, use 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water. Stir the paint well until the chalk dissolves. If you need to close the jar tightly and shake it to help mix the water and chalk. If you smashed additional bags of chalk, you will need another to 1 cup (120 to 240 milliliters) of water for each batch. You can thicken the paint by adding 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of white glue to it. Keep in mind that this will make the paint permanent. Apply the paint using a paintbrush. When you are done using the paint, close the jar tightly. If the paint starts to turn too thick, add some water to it to thin it out again. You should be able to dilute it 5 to 10 times before it becomes too thin to use. The chalk may settle in the water. If that happens, stir it back up again. If you added glue to the chalk, use it on paperunless you want it to be permanent!
