1. Mix canola oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Place chicken breasts into the bag, seal, and squeeze bag with your fingers several times to coat chicken with marinade. Place a second resealable bag over the first and seal to prevent leaks. Refrigerate chicken for 2 to 4 hours.

Grilled Greek Chicken Sandwiches

Ok we had this for dinner tonight and it was great. I got it from Pillsbury and I loved it. I am a huge fan of Greek food. It is a Chicken Gyro. And as you look at it you can tell I just copy and pasted from the site.

INGREDIENTS: Cucumber Sauce 1/4 cup Yoplait® Original Fat Free plain yogurt 1/3 cup finely chopped seeded cucumber 1 medium green onion, sliced (1 tablespoon) 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel Dash salt and pepper Sandwiches 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 pita (pocket) bread cut in half 1 small tomato, sliced 2 thin slices red onion DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix sauce ingredients; set aside. (Sauce may become watery if it stands longer than 30 minutes.) 2. In another small bowl, mix lemon juice, oil and oregano. Brush lemon mixture over chicken, coating all sides. If desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper. 3. Place chicken on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 15 to 20 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F). Wrap pita halves in foil; place on grill 1 to 2 minutes or until warm. 4. Place chicken, tomato and onion inside pita pockets. Top with sauce, or serve sauce on the side for dipping.

Beer Butt Chicken

This is totally unconventional but whatever it's really yummy. The recipe came from allrecipes.com with some modifications for my own taste.

You start with a full chicken in the 4-5lb range on the outside you baste
1/2 c. Melted Butter
3T Garlic Powder
4T Chicken Seasonings
1t Paprika
1/2t Cheyenne Pepper
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Let that sit for at least 3 hours but overnight is better. If you feel up to it you can loosen the chicken's skin and get some of that baste underneath. I didn't do that but it would definitely add to the flavor of the meat.

In a 12 fluid ounce beer can (we used soda cans as the beer we had was 24ozs) mix
6ozs of Beer (totally your choice)
2-3 Garlic Cloves
3T Chicken Seasonings
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
I used a can opener to take the top off completely.
I have heard that cherry cola and ginger ale work well to. I could see that since it's the boiling of the liquid that keeps the chicken moist, so really ANY liquid could work but the beer added flavor so keep that in mind when you choose a liquid.

Make sure you baste the outside of the can with veggie oil before you insert it into the butt of the chicken.

Place on a cookie sheet and grill over low heat for about 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).

It is also possible to bake it (obviously we didn't do that). 350 for about 15 minutes per pound (or about an hour/ hour and a half).

Final meal.

I served mine with grilled corn on the cob, fresh home made rolls, and garlic cheese mashed potatoes. Yum, yum, yum.

Oh and the leftovers were moist the next day!

Turkey BBQ

This is a must have if you travel to Sanpete County, UT. Regularly made at any major event, this can be found and once you try it you are usually hooked. For my little family we have started making this for our Easter Dinner. It is so worth any work. I say this because at one point I could find boneless skinless turkey breasts. Lately if we want this I have to debone and skin an actual turkey breast. But like I said, it is soooooo worth it. However you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Chicken is yummy to but not quite the same.


Ingredients:
1 tsp horseradish sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup peanut oil
2 cups lemon-lime soda
Boneless, skinless Turkey breasts

Directions:
Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Use thin and bigger pieces. Leave in fridge overnight. Use basting brush while grilling and baste turkey with marinade. Keep on low heat.

BBQ Pork Ribs

Desired number of pork spare rib racks
2 1/2 to 3 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce per rack

I don't think there is such a thing as too much sauce. Last time I made these I had about 3 cups [I didn't measure] per rack, didn't grill, and had about 1/2 cup of sauce in the bottom of the Tupperware when the ribs were gone.

Prepare aluminum foil by folding two pieces together to make one larger piece and place on a baking sheet. Place one rack of ribs on the foil, pour sauce over ribs. Repeat with remaining racks. (I would do no more than 3 racks per group, depending on how much you want to make and how big your foil is.) If you are only doing one rack, you can cut it in half and stack the pieces on top of each other. Bring edges of foil up over ribs and secure. You want to prevent your sauce from escaping. You can always double foil too.

Bake at 300 degrees for 4 - 5 hours. (Usually I end up cooking for 4 1/2 hours.) If you prefer to have a little crunchy layer on your ribs, you can throw on the BBQ grill for about 5 - 10 minutes. If you do this, baste the ribs in the sauce to help keep them moist. These are fall off the bone, melt in your mouth delicious out of the oven. I also don't see why you couldn't throw these in the crock pot if you preferred. Especially if you were only going to do one rack at a time. Just cut them to fit.

If you are really ambitious, you can make your own BBQ sauce, but I just used the Famous Dave's sauce I got at Sam's Club where I also got the ribs and my husband couldn't stop telling me how good they were. We cooked one rack and I put the others into freezer bags with the sauce and stuck them in the freezer for another day when I want gourmet taste with mac-n-cheese effort.
