Counterpoint: Nana's recipe for fried chicken was chicken, flour, salt, and pepper. Crisco for frying. No fancy seasoning mix, no marinade, no soaking in buttermilk.

#2 : I season steaks the same as I season chicken for grilling, and they're both excellent, if I say so myself.
Now, chicken breast? That's essentially the tofu of meats. But thighs.... mmmmmmmmm....
