Don't Heat Up The Kitchen Chicken BBQ Dinner


It's Labor Day Weekend and I don't need to say it, but I will, it's hot hot hot!
Here's a simple meal I put together to avoid heating up the kitchen
in triple digit weather.

Ingredients
- no, I don't measure things out. It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
  • Chicken Breasts, Thighs and Legs
  • Your Favorite BBQ Rub
  • Finely Chopped Onion or Slivered Scallions
  • Shredded Ginger
  • Chopped Garlic
  • Red Wine - I use some of my leftover garage wine -Little Anthony Syrah
  • Aluminum Pan - Make a rectangle pan out of aluminum foil, large enough to hold all the meat, or use a disposable aluminum pan
Cover the chicken with the rub and grill until it's almost done.
Let the coals cool down a bit or turn the grill on low.
Put chicken and ingredients in the pan and back on the grill.
Flip the chicken occasionally, add a little red wine as the sauce cooks down.
Cook until the meat is falling off the bone.

Serve with grilled asparagus or fennel and roasted fingerling potatoes

Wine Pairing - slightly chill some Pinot Noir or Vacqueryras (made from Syrah and some Grenache) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacqueyras_AOC
