Delicious BBQ Chicken Breast

Ever want a good tasting bbq'ed chicken breast that does not taste dry. It is easy and quick if you follow these steps.

Get yourself some fresh boneless chicken breast and put some herbs and seasonings on them. I like to put on some thyme, oregano, tarragon, onion and garlic powder and some sweet basil. Then I cover and put in the refrigerator for a couple hours.

While the chicken is in the refrigerator I get some sweet chili sauce, you can get this at any supermarket and all are basically the same, mix it with some honey, minced garlic and dried onions.

Then I get my grill ready, by wiping the grade down with some olive oil, so the chicken will not stick to it. Heat the grill to medium high, enough to heat the grades evenly.

Then put the chicken breast on the grill and brush on some of the chili sauce mixture. Do not be afraid of using too much, the more the merrier in my opinion. Here is where I differ from alot of other bbq'ers. After 4 minutes turn and brush on some more chili sauce. Turning the breast every 4 minutes and brushing on more chili sauce. Then right before the breast is done, brush on the last of the chili sauce, and turn, put the grill on high or sear for 2 minutes.

Make sure your chicken in not pink in the middle before you eat it. If so put back on the grill for a couple minutes.

Cooking time does vary with the size of the breast.

losber tail recipe

losber tail recipe


One of the best things to make during a barbecue feast is a delectable grilled lobster tail. You can make a delicious surf ‘n turf dinner with grilled fresh lobster tails and filet mignon.
Grilling Lobster Tails
Lobster tails should be cooked on medium heat, so if you are using charcoal, you will need to move most of the coals to one side of the grill. Grill the Lobster tails on the cooler side of the grill. They only take a few minutes to grill, so when you are done grilling the steaks
(and they are resting), you can grill the Lobster tails.

Enhancing Your Lobster Tails
What are fresh Lobster tails without garlic butter? You can also make the garlic butter on the grill. Put ¼ cup butter in a thick-bottomed pan. Add two tablespoons of garlic powder or one tablespoon crushed garlic to the butter.

Set the pan on a cooler part of the grill. If you prefer a different type of dipping sauce, you can either prepare it ahead of time, or if it only takes a few minutes, prepare it at the time you would prepare the garlic butter.
Add the lobster tails to the grill. You do not need to wrap them in foil. Put them as they are right on the grill. Using tongs, flip them over one time. The shell should be bright red when they are finished.

Remove the tails from the grill, and using a chef’s knife or large kitchen shears, cut the top part of the shell open. If using a knife, take care not to cut down into the lobster meat too far.

Garnish with lemon twists and parsley sprigs. Serve with the steaks and a side of garlic butter for a steak
and lobster dinner.
