Cooks Notes and Variations: We suggest one or more of the following (just a pinch goes a long way) minced parsley, oregano, basil, spring of rosemary or thyme, minced garlic or garlic powder, minced onion or onion powder, minced shallot, lemon pepper, cayenne pepper, etc).

Extra virgin olive oil may be used instead of butter, if desired. When baking foil packets using butter, a few teaspoons of bread crumbs may be sprinkled over the chicken for extra flavor.

A squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of soy sauce can add to the flavor. Or sometimes we use Duck Sauce or BBQ sauce to brush over the chicken. Foil packets may be made in one large packet or individual servings may be made up in each packet. Baby or fingerling potatoes are excellent with the skins left on, rubbed with olive oil and sprinkled with coarse sea salt and packed with a sprig of rosemary. They may be baked separately, if desired, because sometimes they need to go on the grill earlier if the chicken pieces will take less time (as when cooking chicken breast tenders).
