Summer Grilling

Doesn’t seem like summer without firing up the grill! Luckily my grill comes with a “Grill Master”...a.k.a my husband. This past weekend he prepared a delicious meal of marinated chicken drumettes, fresh corn on the cob, and potatoes. Below are his trade secrets...sshhhh!

Chicken Drumettes Marinade

Olive and/or sesame oil
Paprika
Garlic salt
Pepper
Chili Powder
Fresh Cilantro

Pour enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan used to marinate the thawed chicken. Mix spices to taste and coat the chicken with your fingers, a pastry brush, or any other utensil in your drawer. Refrigerate until ready to grill or place directly on the grill and drizzle chicken with leftover marinade.

Corn on the Cob

Remove the husks from fresh corn on the cob ears but leave the stems on the bottom. The stems make for a great handle; however, if you are like me, I tend to accidentally break the stems off. If so, no worries! That’s why they make corn on the cob holders!

Drizzle the corn with olive oil and then sprinkle with chili powder and salt (or whatever spices you prefer). Grill to perfection!

Potatoes

We peeled and cut two potatoes (one each) into fry size slivers. We’ve experimented with the thinness and prefer to slice the potatoes in about ¼” pieces. We season these with salt and pepper, place them in our veggie grill basket, and grill until the desired consistency is reached (usually about twenty minutes).

Enjoy!!
