Having a barbecue with the family is a great way to spend a summer evening. And if you are a bit nervous about grilling your own food, there are a few ideas you can try.
Grilled Teriyaki Chicken
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, celebrating a special occasion, or just looking for a quick family meal, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken for families is a delicious option. It’s simple to make, and you’ll love the results.
A classic backyard BBQ dish, teriyaki chicken is made with a sweet and savoury sauce. The savoury marinade soaks into the meat, leaving it juicy and flavourful. You can serve it over rice, or with a side of steamed broccoli.
You can use boneless skinless chicken thighs for grilled teriyaki. You’ll need to toss them in the sauce for about 30 minutes, then grill them. The sauce will thicken as it cools, and you can serve it over the meat or as a glaze.
During the last two minutes of cooking, brush the chicken with the teriyaki sauce. You can also garnish your dish with green onions or sesame seeds.
Smoked Steak
Using a smoker to smoke your steak is a great way to make a delicious meal. Not only does it add flavor, it helps to break down the tough connective tissue and makes your meat more tender.
There are many varieties of wood to choose from when smoking your steak. The most obvious choice is oak, but cherry, maple, pecan, and mesquite are also good choices. The best choice depends on your taste.
The main trick to smoking a great steak is keeping it low and slow. You will want to use a smoker with a lid and keep an eye on the temperature. This allows you to get the perfect char on your steak without burning it.
The smoke-infused meat is delicious and easy to prepare. You can smoke your steak for about an hour. This time frame will depend on the thickness of your cut and the type of wood you are using.
Grilled Sweet Potatoes
Whether you’re looking for a quick, easy, and healthy summer side dish, or you want to try something new, grilled sweet potatoes can be an excellent option. In addition to being tasty, they’re also extremely nutritious, loaded with fiber and vitamins A, B, C and K. And you don’t need much in the way of ingredients to make these delicious potatoes.
Before grilling your sweet potatoes, you’ll need to trim them. Cut them into about half-inch wedges. This will allow you to easily flip them over and cook them on both sides.
The next step is to brush each slice with olive oil. This is important, because olive oil helps the skin of the potato to crisp up.
Next, you’ll need to season each slice of sweet potato. You can use salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic, or even smoked paprika. You should sprinkle one teaspoon of each of these on each slice.
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Whether it’s hot summer days or cool winter nights, you can’t go wrong with grilled corn on the cob. This tasty side dish is easy to prepare, and can be enjoyed any time of the year. You can serve it as a side with your favourite barbecue sauce or salad, or you can freeze it for later use.
When grilling corn, it’s important to keep it away from direct heat. This will help to maintain the charred flavour, and will help to prevent kernels from overcooking. However, if you do choose to add a bit of fat, it can help pull out the rich buttery flavours in the corn.
A few minutes before you’re ready to start cooking, remove the husks from the cobs. The husks will catch fire, and you want to avoid burning your fingers.
