Get Your Grill On

My friend, well I’ve met him a few times anyway, Chris Lilly a 10-time world BBQ champion, owner of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q restaurants in Decatur, AL, official pitmaster for Kingsford Charcoal and one of my inspirations created this recipe for Kingsford and it looks damn good.

Roast chicken is an simple and satisfying dish that I really enjoy doing on the grill. The only real trick is to get a nice, diffused heat that surrounds the birds - cooking them evenly and crisping the skin. I always do two birds at once, since they take no more time to cook and […]

Anyone who’s traveled anywhere in the world has come across this scene: a roadside stand with a table and a few chairs, a couple of coolers, a smoky fire in an old oil drum, and a load of this well-marinated chicken sizzling on top of it. Whether it be on a Caribbean beach or at […]

Our friends know that my wife and I are huge fans of Hawaii, Hawaiian food and any convergence of Hawaiian ingredients and barbecue. They also know that I seek inspiration from the most unusual sources when it comes to trying new food ideas. So another convergence took place recently when we were enjoying a package of […]

With all the fresh herbs coming up in our garden, I like using some of them for this tangy Argentinian marinade. Chicken is not exactly traditional gaucho food, but it pairs well with the citrus and garlic, and the extra oil helps keep the breasts moist.

1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley
1/2 cup red […]

The heat of the grill does a lot to tone down the spiciness of the marinade.

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
1 tablespoon honey
2-4 cloves garlic

After enjoying pozole (a stew made from hominy, pork or chicken, and green chilies) in Mexico, I decided to try a version of the dish on the Big Green Egg.

I wanted to try the barbacoa technique, where the meat cooks over the stock. I started with one nice roasting hen that was rubbed with Goya […]

You’ve heard of chicken fried steak? Well this is grill fried chicken. The long cook over indirect heat renders the fat out the skin so you get the crispy goodness and a juicy inside of traditionally fried chicken plus all the smoke and spice of the grill.

1 cut-up broiler/fryer chicken
2 cups low fat buttermilk
1-2T hot […]

Good, clean food. That’s what my body craved. Simple, clean, unfussy flavors. I turned to a tried-and-true recipe for Greek Chicken Tenders. I discovered this recipe two years ago in a local newspaper, and it served up exactly what I was looking for … good, clean food.
Although Nicholas requested rice and black beans as his […]

If Austin Powers has lost his Mojo again… I’ve found it. Goya brand makes a wide array of amazing products. I recently found their Chipotle Mojo Marinade. Great flavor with not an overwhelming amount of heat. My wife is fairly adverse to spicy food, but she loved the Mojo marinated chicken and chops we did […]
