My favourite at the moment is to take chicken out of the freezer, stick it in a zip-lok bag with some dry spice blend (Cajun or BBQ are best) and leave it overnight to defrost and marinade in it's own juices in the fridge. Next day we simply bake the chicken bits in a foil parcel in the oven for 40 minutes then open it up for a further 15 minuted to crisp up, tastes great with some rice :D

And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
