Grilled Glazed Drummies

We ran out of charcoal so I had to do these in the oven.  They were okay.  Not great, but good.  I think they would have been a lot better had they been grilled so we'll try it again sometime. 

Grilled Glazed Drummies

1 cup ketchup

1/3 cup soy sauce

4 tsp honey

3/4 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp garlic powder

3 lbs. fresh or frozen chicken drummetes, thawed

In small bowl, combine the first five ingredients.  Pour 1 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag.  Add the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.  Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.

Drain chicken and discard marinade.  Grill, covered, over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until juices run clear, turning and basting occasionally with reserved marinade.

Honey Chicken Kebobs

Yum! That's all I have to say about this. And to adjust quantities to your family's needs. I just made the marinade and then added enough chicken and veggies for my family. This recipe calls for a lot more than I actually made.

Honey Chicken Kebobs

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup honey
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1 inch cubes
2 cloves garlic
5 small onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
2 red bell peppers, cut into 2 inch pieces
skewers

In large bowl, whisk together oil, honey, soy sauce, and pepper. Reserve a small amount of marinade to brush on kebobs while cooking. Place the chicken, garlic, onion, and peppers in the bowl. Marinate in fridge for 2 hours. (Or double the marinade and soak overnight.)

Preheat grill for high heat. Drain marinade from chicken and veggies and discard. Thread chicken and veggies on skewers. Lightly oil grill. Place the skewers on grill. Cook 12 to 15 minutes, until chicken juices run clear. Turn and brush with reserved marinade frequently.

Grilled Corn on the Cob

We've grilled corn before but this time I wanted something to add more favor.

I had five small ears of corn. On each one I put:

olive oil--just enough to cover the corn and hold on the seasonings
salt and pepper
minced garlic
chopped onion

I put each ear of corn on a piece of foil, rubbed with oil, sprinkled on salt and pepper, and then added a little bit, probably a 1/2 tsp each, of garlic and onion.

We wrapped them up and put them on the grill. This always takes longer than we imagine, about a half hour, but it was worth it! We like ours cut off the cob so I cut it off and added a little bit of butter.

I really liked the favor the garlic and onion added. However, there was a bit too much garlic in mine, if you can imagine that considering how much I like garlic. Definitely something I'll try again, not just with corn but other veggies as well.

Sorry, forgot to get a picture!

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

These were SO good! I didn't really know how they'd turn out but my husband and I both really liked them.


Not sure how much shrimp pound-wise this was but I used about 50 shrimp. The small kind.
1 lb. bacon


All I did was take the tails off the shrimp once it was thawed. Then I cut the bacon in half lenghwise and widthwise and wrapped one piece around each shrimp. Then we threw them on the grill until the bacon was as crisp as we could get it without burning it.

Grilled Honey Mustard Pork Chops

Tonight we bbq'd. It was gorgeous weather and we ended up with some yummy food that we'll definitely make again.

We did honey mustard pork chops, bacon wrapped shrimp, and grilled corn on the cob. I'll post each one seperately so this post doesn't get too crowded.

Honey Mustard Pork Chops

I don't really measure anything so I'm estimating here!

4 thick cut pork chops--trim fat and cut small slits in them.
French's honey dijon mustard--a couple tablespoons
Orange juice--one or two tablespoons
few shakes of: garlic powder, Tastefully Simple's onion onion (or onions powder or salt), pepper, whatever herb you like (I think I used tarragon and/or thyme.

Mix all together and let marinade for a couple hours.


I'm still getting used to his food blog thing and always forget to take pictures! I'll get better becasue I like seeing pictures on other people's blogs.
