First BBQ of the year, at Steffi’s house in Nivenheim…as usual, I take control of the shopping. For me a real BBQ essential is having tons of meat, fish, poultry, sausages and vegetables to throw on the hot coals. Salads on the side, also worth investing in, then you need some very good bread, baked potatoes, slow BBQ’ed whole garlic cloves, grilled juicy tomatoes, maybe even some whole grilled, slow cooked and caramelized onions, sauces from aioli to chived up sour cream, Sirachi and BBQ sauce, there are so MANY things that need to be part of it.
The pre BBQ shopping trips are always the battle, who much, which cut, who will eat all this food, but it must be a lot.
On our first BBQ of the year we had this delicious chicken which came out better then anticipated. It was actually the best!
Grilled Chicken, Lemon, Chili, Garlic:
Chicken crowns, (2 breast on the bone, could also be a whole flattened chicken)
Garlic, Chilli, Lemon rind chopped in pieces, Pepper, Olive Oil,
The above are rubbed over the chicken, left aside for some 1/2 hour. Before grilling, season with Salt.
On the grill it goes. Then, once nice and crisp on all sides, wrapped in tin foil and left on the side of the BBQ to fully slow cook and the juices are retained.
Simple, delicious.
