Grilling On Budget

B

BQ Chicken

Total: 4 hrs 35 mins Servings: 4 servings Calories: 793 You’ve certainly eaten your fair share of barbecued chicken legs—drumsticks roasted on the grill and covered in sauce—over the years, and some were better than others. However, once you try this recipe, it will be the only one you use for grilling BBQ chicken. These drumsticks are brined first to ensure maximum moisture and tenderness, then gently grilled and basted with a traditional BBQ sauce at the conclusion of the cooking process. Although this recipe calls for homemade sauce, you may substitute your favorite bottled sauce if you like.

Ingredient 2-pound drumsticks of chicken To make the brine: a half cup of salt 1/2 cup sugar (white) 1 cup boiling water 2 quarts water (cold) One teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional) To make the BBQ sauce, combine the following ingredients. ketchup, 1 cup One tablespoon white vinegar a quarter cup of brown sugar paprika (2 tbsp.) One tablespoon extra virgin olive oil One tablespoon cayenne pepper Two tablespoons powdered garlic One teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Cooking

instructions

Collect the necessary components.

Combine salt, white sugar, and boiling water in a big plastic or glass container that can be covered to prepare the brine. To combine, stir everything together. If used, add cold water and cayenne pepper. Stir until the mixture is completely dissolved.

Refrigerate for 4 hours after adding the chicken drumsticks.

In the meanwhile, collect the sauce components.

In a medium saucepan, combine all of the ingredients for the barbecue sauce.

Simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, stirring periodically.

Remove from heat and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes to cool.

Remove the chicken legs from the brine and throw away the liquid. Rinse the chicken well to get rid of any brine residue on the surface. Then, using paper towels, pat dry.

Grill chicken legs for 30 to 35 minutes, often flipping (every 5 minutes) to ensure equal cooking on both sides.

Start brushing sauce over the surface every 5 minutes during the last 15 to 20 minutes of cooking, rotating the chicken to coat evenly until the chicken is done (an internal temperature of at least 165 F/75 C, but you may want to get closer to 180 F/82 C), and the sauce has thickened to a sticky consistency.

Remove the chicken from the fire and lay it on a large serving plate, loosely covered with foil. Allow 5 to 7 minutes for the drumsticks to rest.

hints While bringing drumsticks results in moist, delicate drumsticks, it also results in extremely wet chicken legs. Because damp chicken skin does not crisp up nicely when cooked (regardless of the cooking technique), it is critical to completely dry the drumsticks after taking them from the brine. If you have time, set the skin on a cooling rack over a baking sheet and let it dry on the counter (or in the refrigerator for a longer amount of time) after patting with paper towels.

Stuffed

GreenBell Peppers Total: 60 mins Servings: 6 servings Calories: 774 This stuffed pepper recipe is used to create vegetarian Mexican chile Rellenos on the grill using poblano peppers or filled green bell peppers for a meal similar to traditional chile Rellenos if you don’t have poblano peppers. Baked beans and cheese are filled inside these vegetarian chili Rellenos seasoned with garlic, onion, and fresh cilantro. Do you want your vegetarian chili Rellenos to be lower in fat or vegan in addition to being vegetarian? Simply leave out the cheese to make it vegan. Do you require it to be gluten-free as well? With the potential exception of the canned baked beans, all of the ingredients in this recipe are gluten-free. Read the label carefully since certain products may include gluten-containing substances that aren’t readily apparent. If you’re not sure and cooking for someone else, it’s generally preferable to be safe. Bush’s® Beans provided the recipe.

Ingredient Six poblano chiles or green bell peppers, large 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil One finely chopped medium onion Two garlic cloves, finely chopped Two seeded and chopped jalapenos One finely sliced red bell pepper 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 1 tsp cumin powder One vegetarian baked bean can (28 oz., drained) 1–3 teaspoons spicy sauce, to taste 12 oz. coarsely shredded Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese season with salt to taste black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Cooking

instructions

To make a boat for filling, cut poblano chiles in half lengthwise and scrape away the seeds.

In a nonstick skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil. Cook for 4 minutes over medium heat, occasionally stirring, until onion, garlic, jalapenos, red bell pepper, cilantro, and cumin are golden brown.

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the baked beans, spicy sauce, and 8 ounces of cheese to the pan—season to taste with salt and pepper. Fill the hollowed chiles with the mixture and the remaining cheese.

Preheat your grill to medium and set it up for indirect cooking. Arrange the chilies on the grill in a shady spot away from the flames. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chiles are soft and the cheese is browned and bubbling.

Remove from the grill and serve immediately.

Beer

Brats

Total: 40 mins Servings: 8 servings Calories: 380 Beer brats, often known as Wisconsin soul food, are an American take on German cuisine. Germans were the largest group of immigrants in Wisconsin by 1860, although they were eventually surpassed by Polish labor. During the 1920s, when butchers made them fresh to order, bratwurst became popular. They became famous in sports venues after becoming a summer barbecue staple. There are two primary methods for cooking beer brats: poaching them ahead of time or keeping them warm in beer afterward, as indicated in the procedures below.

Before grilling, beer brats are often poached in beer. This cooks the sausage while also sealing in the fluids, keeping it juicy. To prevent piercing the skin and losing the liquid, turn with tongs.

Beer Brat connoisseurs would advise you to avoid hot dog buns because they are too soft and spongy. Instead, use brat buns or hard rolls.

Ingredient Bratwurst is a kind of bratwurst that is made from Pilsner is a kind of beer (enough to cover bratwurst in a pan) 1–2 onions, sweet One tablespoon unsalted butter Hard rolls or brat buns Catsup, brown mustard, onions, and sauerkraut are examples of condiments.

Cooking

instructions

Before grilling, poach. In a large skillet, combine the beef, chopped onion, and brats.

Bring to a boil, lower to low heat and continue to cook until the brats are done (firm to the touch).

If preferred, drain liquid and cook onions in butter in a clean pan.

Brats should be browned on a charcoal barbecue.

Serve with condiments and brat buns or hard rolls. Keep them warm in the batter as an alternative.

After-Grilling Beer Brat Batter For this, use only fresh ingredients.

For example, combine several beer bottles, a chopped onion, and a pat of butter in a mixing bowl.

Bring to a low boil, then reduce to low heat. Place the grilled bratwurst in the batter until ready to serve, but keep the liquid from boiling.

After cooking fresh bratwurst that hasn’t been poached, the beer brat batter may be utilized.

Teriyaki Flank Steak Total: 2 hrs 24 mins Servings: 4 servings Calories: 420 One of the finest methods to make a steak flavorful is to prepare it teriyaki style. This dish calls for flank steak, but any steak would suffice. Grilling it with grilled veggies or a colorful summer salad is a terrific way to spend a summer evening. Rice is another common complement. For teriyaki steak, you don’t need a special barbecue. Any gas or charcoal barbecue, even a hibachi charcoal grill, would suffice. The pineapple in the marinade helps to tenderize and flavor this meal. Pineapple enzymes work as a meat tenderizer, which is ideal for this kind of steak. Because canning breaks down these enzymes, canned pineapple and juice will have a reduced tenderizing effect, and the steak marinated for up to 12 hours. If you use fresh pineapple and its juice, marinate for no more than two hours. Otherwise, the meat will become mushy instead of tender.

Ingredient flank steak, 1 1/2 pound Marinade Ingredients: pineapple, 1/4 cup (canned crushed) pineapple juice (three tablespoons) (reserved from crushed pineapple) a third of a teaspoon of soy sauce Two tbsp. shallots (minced) Two teaspoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tsp apple cider vinegar One tablespoon of honey 1 to 2 garlic cloves (minced) One teaspoon ginger powder (fresh, minced) black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon a quarter teaspoon of salt

Cooking

instructions

Take three tablespoons of crushed pineapple from the can and put it in a mixing dish. Remove three tablespoons of pineapple juice from the can with care. Place the leftover crushed pineapple in a sieve over a bowl if this proves difficult. To release as much liquid as possible, press down with a spatula. This should provide you with the required quantity for the recipe. Combine the remaining marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl (soy sauce, minced shallots, olive oil, cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, salt).

Coat the flank steak on both sides with the marinated ingredients in a glass baking dish or plastic container. Refrigerate the dish for 2 to 12 hours, carefully wrapped in plastic wrap. During the marinating procedure, turn the steak a few times and cover the dish with plastic wrap each time.

Preheat your grill to medium-high.

Take the steak out of the glass dish and set it aside. Next, place the meat on the grill that has been preheated. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side until done, depending on the thickness of the cut. Once the steaks are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and set them aside to rest for 5 to 7 minutes.

Across the grain, cut the flank steaks into strips.

As the main meal, Teriyaki flank steak may be served over rice. It’s also wonderful as part of a salad for the main dish. Finally, it’s fantastic in wraps for a quick lunch.

Grilled

Eggplant

Total: 50 mins Servings: 8 servings Calories: 200 Grilled eggplant may be one of the summer’s best delights, with lusciously delicate eggplant and a few crunchy scorched edges thrown in for good measure.

Fortunately, there is a technique to cook soft, tasty eggplant on the grill. This simple recipe employs the magic of salted water (or brining) to ensure delicious grilled eggplant. It’s simple and takes 30 minutes longer than the rest of the dish, but it’s well worth it.

Blackened Red Snapper Total: 20 mins Servings: 4 servings Calories: 300 A tasty Cajun-style main meal is blackened red snapper. It’s often fried in a cast-iron pan, although it also is done on the grill. You’ll want your grill to be as hot as possible for this dish.

hints Look for healthy red snapper with deep red fins, pinkish bellies, and crimson gills if you’re purchasing the entire red snapper. Genuine red snapper fillets with the skin on are more likely to be sold. Look for juicy, shiny white meat when purchasing fillets. The most common cause of tough and dry red snapper is overcooking. When the salmon flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the grill.
