Grilled Honey BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe

Fall is here, and with it comes football. A good game, great food, and a few drinks and it is a perfect night in for the guys.

These Grilled Honey BBQ Chicken Wings are so good your guests won’t be able to keep their hands of them till they are gone. This is a simple recipe but does take a little bit of time due to having to cook down the BBQ sauce; but it is well worth the effort. I cooked the recipe as written and love the way it is seasoned, but you can turn up the heat a little bit if you wish to do so, by increasing the amount of Tabasco sauce and black pepper. The end result is sticky and delicious chicken wings.

Whether it’s a guys night in to watch your favorite team play football, or a tail gating party, the food doesn’t get any better than this.

Give this Grilled Honey BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe a try.

Grilled Balsamic Glazed Chicken Breasts Recipe

I wanted to fire up the grill but I did not have the time for a marinade so I decided on this Grilled Balsamic Glazed Chicken Breasts Recipe. The recipe for the glaze looked really good and there was almost no prep time involved. This recipe was also a little different because most of the chicken breast recipes I have prepared called for boneless skinless chicken breasts. I know the skin is not the healthiest thing, but I love the taste. I prepared the recipe as written and the results were excellent. The next time you are in a hurry but still would like to use the grill, give this Grilled Balsamic Glazed Chicken Breasts Recipe a try. Enjoy

Smoked Grilled Pork Chops

I felt like grilling pork for supper but I didn’t have enough time to marinate it. I have never used rub recipes before so I decided to give this Smoked Grilled Pork Chops Recipe a try. I was pretty impressed because the flavors blended into the meat very well after sitting for only about 10 minutes. I incorporated the new 140F temperature standard printed by the FDA and these chops turned out moist and tender with excellent flavor. This would be a great recipe for a 4th of July cook out. This is a very simple recipe with almost no prep time. The next time you fire up the grill give this Smoked Grilled Pork Chops Recipe a try. Enjoy

Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe

This Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe is really good; but does take some time. When I saw the ingredients in this recipe I couldn’t wait to give it a try. The combination of ingredients along with the Sherry just looked really good. This is a simple recipe but you need to give yourself a lot of time, the chicken needs to marinate for 2-4 hours, and the sauce has to cook down to a barbeque sauce consistency,  which could be done ahead of time, or while the chicken is marinating. You have to also add in the grilling time for the chicken which takes about an hour, but if you like firing up the grill this recipe is a lot of fun to prepare. Your family and friends will love it; just keep a lot of moist towel lets on hand because this chicken is sticky and finger licking good. So if you like to grill give this Grilled Barbeque Chicken Recipe a try-you’ll love it. Enjoy

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Hamburgers Recipe

The weather was great here for Memorial Day giving me the chance to fire up the grill again. I prepared this Grilled Bacon Wrapped Hamburgers Recipe before; but used the broiler instead of the grill, because I was out of gas. It was really good- so I decided to grill it for the Memorial Day weekend and like I expected, it came out even better using the grill. There is very little prep time, it’s a very simple recipe, and the combination of bacon and cheese flavors makes an excellent tasting bacon burger. The recipe originally called for dividing the burger to make 6. I divided it into 4 instead, for 4 quarter pounders, and it worked out perfect. If you like grilled bacon burgers give this Grilled Bacon Wrapped Hamburgers Recipe a try; you’ll save a little time by not having to cook the bacon separately. Enjoy
