| | We hope you're already enjoying the grill this summer and find yourself rediscovering a few of your favorite recipes. But, are you ready to add new techniques and recipes to your grilling repertoire? We've found a few great chicken recipes ready for your grate - they're keepers! IN THIS ISSUE, everyone's favorite bird, the chicken, hits the grill using a variety of techniques. We begin with vertically roasting a Beer-Can Chicken, then marinate some tasty Cilantro-Lime Chicken Thighs, and finish with a spatchcocked Chicken Under a Brick served with Grilled Avocados and Chiles. Summer just became even more amazing! | |
