might sound a bit naff but i've experimented a lot with chicken and using different amounts of spices or sauces for the marinade. doesn't sound like anything special but this is coming from someone that would cook very little up until a couple of years ago. Much of that through laziness.
Recently made a very, very nice BBQ chicken and pasta dish. Think it was the best thing I've made apart from making a few pizzas for the family a few years ago
I need to be a bit more adventurous in the kitchen, admittedly. If anyone knows of any simple recipes or simple dishes that can be cooked with some level of flexibility (i.e. nothing too strict, by the book etc) that'd be great!
