Marinated mozzarella balls take advantage of the fact that mozzarella balls are creamy, and somewhat neutral flavored. They're just waiting for a zingy herb-packed marinade to turn them into one of the easiest and tastiest appetizers ever.
Grilled Spatchcocked Greek Chicken
This grilled spatchcocked chicken is simple to do and only requires a sharp pair of kitchen shears and 5 minutes of your time. Grilling over indirect heat keeps the chicken moist.
