I heard at lunch today that Gadhafi had been captured and might be dead.  My first thought was, "Whoa."

My second thought was "Chicken."

We have a recipe in the family which we call Khadafy Chicken.  The story is, my parents were grilling chicken with friends when the news broke of Gadhafi doing something horrible (I don't know exactly what).  Everyone went inside to watch the news; the chicken was forgotten on the grill and abandoned to burn.

Ever since, this marinade has taken up his name (however you want to spell it).  And the chicken always ends up just a bit charred on the corners.

I only came home at 8 tonight, so I'm defrosting our chicken breasts overnight and will be marinating and grilling tomorrow to mark the event. It's morbid, yet topical. I know I would have left the chicken to burn if I'd been grilling this afternoon.

If you want to follow along, I'll give you the recipe now, so you can make it tomorrow.  We could compare results, perhaps.

I'm also planning to try my hand at taboule tomorrow, in case you want to match me verbatim...
