We normally stick to the typical burger, steaks and chops on the grill but rarely chicken; I'm never confident that it will cook all the way through without waiting a long while. But your technique of removing the backbone and cracking the breastbone to flatten out the chicken is great answer to that!<br /><br />Like everyone else, I'm completely intrigued by fennel pollen!Tangled Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543997083087131116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043567387409721448.post-80810264619394038622009-06-18T13:18:54.663-05:002009-06-18T13:18:54.663-05:00"If you want your tuna more cooked than that,..."If you want your tuna more cooked than that, throw the steaks directly into the trash"<br /><br />That, is classic.

Fennel seed smells and tastes mildly of anise and has a somewhat cooling or tongue-numbing effect to my mind. Fennel pollen also tastes mildly of anise but is more herby and has a rounder flavor. When I sniff the container of seeds, it's earthy and fennely. Sniffing the jar of pollen, I get wow-fennel with the volume turned up and a brightness that isn't there with the seeds.<br /><br />The fennel pollen flavor really did permeate the meat. Sometimes when a rub is applied, the flavor stays on the surface, but this was different and better. <br /><br />Fennel fronds wouldn't really impart that kind of flavor while grilling. They'd be great tucked into the belly of a fish, but on chicken, they'd burn before affecting the taste much. The best substitute would be freshly toasted and ground fennel seeds.<br /><br />Hope that helps!lisa is cookinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11880633141546012855noreply@blogger.com
