BBQ season

Wens · 06-15-2008, 07:04 AM

I tried to make grilled pizza few times and it never got any good. I think the heat wasn't spread as it should.
As a fitness junkie I like to make anti pasti as a side dish (but kids don't eat it).
Did anyone here tried to make a Mongolian BBQ. I just read about it and try to figure out if it's possible to "adopt" it into regular BBQ.

Hickory and oak are undoubtedly king and queen of the BBQ woods, but every once in a while it's nice to try something different. Whilst out on errands this weekend, I stopped in at Wannemakers (in the Chicago burbs) to see what might be new for BBQ. I was very please to find they had bagged chunks (not shavings) of pecan and cherry wood.

I used some of the cherry for smoking some chicken breasts yesterday. It was delicious. Chicken can be tricky to Q because it takes up the smoke so well. You need to use a mild wood (fruitwoods are good) and add it to the fire sparingly.

I'm not sure what to try the pecan on, but I'll think of something.

I was in the dollar store Friday and I found a large bottle (17 ozs) of Kickin Kajun Habanero sauce. I checked the ingredients and sure enough, habanero is listed as the first ingredient (followed by carrots, onions, vinegar, and garlic).

So the plan was to marinate some chicken thighs and drums in a regular marinade
and marinate a smaller portion in the habanero sauce overnight. Well, we went to a movie tonight and got back too late for me to cook.

So by the time we eat tomorrow, the chicken will have been marinating in habanero sauce for 48 hours!!!

The funny thing is that the garlic and habanero flavors of Kickin Kajun on sale at the dollar store aren't mentioned on their website. It's possible that these are experimental batches.

I'll let you know if I survive the experience tomorrow.
