Bahamian Grilled Chicken

Summer is finally here, and what better way to welcome the warm weather than to get outside and fire up the grill? In the first of two Caribbean recipes, I share a recipe for Bahamian Grilled Chicken adapted from a recipe I found in “The Barbecue! Bible” by Steven Raichlen.

Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 2 hot chiles, sliced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme 1 or 1 teaspoon dried
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

Beer Can Chicken

3 - 4 tablespoons of rub
12oz can of beer

Grilled Lamb With Herbes de Provence

When I am grilling with good, flavorful meat I like to use recipes that don’t mask the natural flavor of the meat itself, this is definitely one of those recipes. It’s also great if you don’t have the time for a long marinade, just marinate the meat while you are waiting for your grill to heat up.

Ingredients

12 lamb chops
2 lemons
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
3 tbsps Herbes de Provence

Directions

1. Mix the oil with the juice of one lemon
2. Brush the mixture onto the lamb
