Hello All,

Going to do your usual burgers, steaks, hot dogs, ribs. How about some ideas on what else to grill or some recipes would be great. Wanted to get some ideas early. :cool:
 
throw on some ham hocks, hambone, ribs, potatoes, some corn, some chicken, chitlins, you name it... cook it thats the name of the game (in my family)
 
grilled lemon pepper chicken strips for the kids and breast for the adults.

Throw some bbq sauce on some shrimp on the sticks

spicy deer sausage is always good too.
 
How about some left over Venison back straps , venison burgers, venison suasaagge.. Yeah i got a freezer full of it..
 
How bout marinated Saleen and Roush Mustang, and a nice roasted Z-06 Vette.:tongue:

Now serious, I am probably going do a nice grilled chicken and steak medley. I start with cutting veggies up and putting in foil pouches. I make several pouches with different combos because no one ever likes the same things. Broccoli, carrots,onion, fresh mushrooms,and peppers. Add some olive oil and seasonings to each pouch and close up. Throw them on ahead of your meat if you like them soft or just after if you like them crunchy. I do both. Add your chicken and steak to the grill and cook as you like. When done, cut up the steak and chicken into 1/4 wide strips and lay on plates and open foil bags and pour veggies onto the meat or off to the side. The veggies add a mixed flavor you only get when all cooked together. My daughter likes to top it with ranch dressing as most kids do, but I like just a little salt and pepper or grilling seasoning. Add some grilled potatoes (potatoes cut in half, longways, with the skins on. They get like baked potatoes, but the skin gets a little charred and really adds a nice flavor) and your finished.

:biggrin:
 
Did some Salmon and Lamb Chops. Get some Mcormick montreal grill seasoning from the super market for the lamb chops. Get some blackened seasoning for the salmon. It was awesome.
 
To go along with all the great grilling ideas, king crab legs boiled in a turkey fryer with a couple cans of Bud and lemon halves added to the water can produce some smiles and make a good 4th party a great 4th party.

Now you're talking. On Saturday I'll be cooking some deer just like I did for Christmas for the people I work with. Mostly shoulder with some back strap. Smoke for 2 hours. Put in a pan with 1 very large diced purple onion, 2 diced red peppers, 3 LBS of uncooked bacon scraps, 2 packages of hot links with jalapenoes and cheese, and a handfull of course ground black pepper. Cook covered for 6 hours and warm when ready to serve.:biggrin: There was very little left for me to take home and I have 5 co-workers.:biggrin:

I did ribs, chicken, beef roast, ect last year so if you want a look do a search for "what you cooking on the forth". Yes I missed speeled it.:biggrin: LOL
 
Darn it all Charlie....I have venison envy.

Dig a hole in the back yard, light it up with some hickory over medium sized stones, let it burn down.

Take a roast of whatever, well seasoned, wrap in foil twice, throw it in, chuck some more stones on top, cover it with dirt, get to drinkin, when you wake up, uncover it, unwrap the foil and get a fork.

Probably going to do some lamb and chicken. Going for a Mediterranean theme.

Indirect roasted bone in lamb chop and a fennel stuffed roaster chicken. Most likely going to serve it with some marinated olives, fresh mozzarella cheese, fat roma tomatoes and basil, home made grilled bread and some nice tart olive oil.

I started the dough last night for the bread. Going to get a nice bottle of Sangiovese and kick back. Chase that with some PBR and I'm good.
 
Chicken- make palm sized boneless filets,

Marinade in Frank's or similar buffalo wing sauce overnight.
Grill.
Place on bun.
Apply ranch dressing.
Add tomato or onion as desired.
Enjoy.
