Cool Summertime means Grillingtime!

Who's excited?!

I'm grilling some tuna fillets tonight that should be amazing.


So what are people's favorite recipes or foods to grill?

Favorite doodad?



I got one of these stainless steel grill grids from Sur la Table last summer and I LOVE IT!
Small Stainless Steel Grill Grids - Grills & Griddles - Cookware - Sur La Table
I use it for everything, especially delicate fish, shrimp, and chopped veggies.
If you get frustrated with kabobs and fish baskets, I'd really recommend these, they're so easy and convenient!


As far as meats/ other things, I find that Mahi Mahi grills really well in a sweet marinade, and grilled Artichokes or Zucchini and Yellow Squash are to die for.


I have a lot of problems with chicken though. :x

Hey Izzie,

Chicken Shish-ka-bobs are good on the grill. Just take cut up chicken breasts and your choice of veggies. Onions, zucchini, and bell peppers work well. Place the meat in one zip loc bag and veggies in the other. Mix up some Good Season's Italian Dressing mix and divide the mixture between the bags. Occasionally rotate the bag and let everything marinate for about 2 hours, then remove and arrange on skewers. If wooden skewers are used they'll need to be soaked first so they don't catch fire. Be sure to leave a little space between each item skewered to allow for thorough cooking. Cook over white hot coals until chicken is firm to the touch. A toothpick can also be used to check for doneness. Insert the pick into the chicken. It should be done if clear juices run out. Steak can be substitued for the chicken. Either way it's a yummy meal.

You got it Melissa! I forget, is TN more of the sauce BBQ or the dry rub BBQ?

@Junebug- great ideas! I'll keep those in mind.
I do have some chicken breasts- and they're skinless, so I'm worried about them drying out.

I'm planning on brining them for an hour before, and then marinading in this fantastic teriyaki sauce that Costco just got in- voted #1 in taste and quality, it's Soy Vay's Veri Veri Teriyaki.

I have a gas grill.
Plan of attack:
preheat the grill for 15min.
Brown chicken on hottest part of grill just until browned.
Cover with foil, finish cooking on cooler side of grill.
Finish browning on hot side briefly, and then eat.

Hopefully everything will work out.

TN has both dry rub and wet BBQ. Just depends on how you like it.

I prefer dry rub ribs.

Default I like to

use my Weber grill with my rotisserie. I have cooked beef roasts, pork roasts and chicken using it. The food comes off of there done, like it should be, but not dried out. In my opinion, chicken and pork are the two hardest things to grill and not overcook. I have also done Barbequed Chicken Legs using the indirect cooking method. I use a mop sauce that keeps them nice and moist.
