Oven Grilled Mixed Herbs Chicken with Buttered Corn

I love to use mix herbs to marinate my chicken before grilling.

Mixed herbs/barbeque spice/bbq mixed herbs are normally contains ingredients such as brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, thyme, salt, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. You can buy those off-the-shelf ready to use mix herbs which available in bottle type. Or you can diy homemade yourself with the recipe link here: http://homecooking.about.com/od/herbandspicerecipes/r/Dry-Rub-Recipe-blspice38.htm. Mine was store bought type.

Another type is Italian herbs which majorly consists of oregano, basil, marjoram, thyme, and crushed rosemary.

Whatever types of mixed herbs, you will sure so get a very distinctive flavor from the grilled chicken.

And I peeled my own corn kernels from the cob. I feel that there's just so much wastage by cutting/scraping it with a knife. See the video below here on how I do it. Fresh corn will be a bit difficult to work on. Best to leave it for 1-2 days in the fridge, and it will tends to come off easily.

Then I keep them in the freezer for future use. I use them to make buttered corn or add to fried rice.

I don't need to buy frozen corn anymore.
