Spring Campout

When I go camping, I pack my Weber Smokey Joe. When I barbecue with it, I consider that everything is scaled down: the size of the kettle, the size of the cuts of meat, the amount of briquets, and the cooking time. Using smaller cuts of meat, I like to do a “barbecue medley”: that is cook and serve beef, chicken and pork all at the same time.

Grilling on a Saturday night

Here is what I'm cooking now while listening to Jose's Radio Show! Golden potatos, corn on the cob, and Caribbean Jerk Chicken.

Marinaded Chicken

Today, we have my favorite: grilled chicken marinaded with Lawry's Caribbean Jerk. I put 1 pound of skinless-boneless breasts or thighs into a 1 gallon zip lock bag with half a bottle of marinade. I massage the bag to distribute the marinade, roll the bag to remove all the air, then zip it shut.
