Try not to use seasoning that is in liquid form. No marinating in sauce. The sauce will burn, therefore you will have burnt chicken crust. Powder is fine....
I'm cooking impaired also. All I do is cook some meat on it, and then put it in BBQ sauce. I do get tired of eating like this. Maybe that's a good reason to get a girlfriend. One that can cook.
You can use injectable marinades or seasoning. If you want to add some BBQ sauce or something, you have to wait till they're almost done before you put it on. The first time I tried making BBQ grilled chicken i put it on from the get go and it came out all burnt and crusty like stretch said.
