This month we’re talking grilling, and I mean the real deal. Here are some tips that will help you throw the best backyard barbecue bash of the season.
Tips For Grilling Chicken:
1. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS marinate!!
* When marinating, pick your favorite marinade. Classic favorites are barbecue and Italian (dressing).
* Marinate for at least 30-45 minutes; this will make your chicken very tender.
2. DON’T FORGET YOUR TIMING!!
* Be sure when grilling to keep the grilling time equal on each side of the meat.
Tips For Grilling Steak:
1. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS marinate!!
* When marinating steak, you’ll have to leave the marinade on longer than you would for chicken.
* Marinate for at least 1-2 hours.
MIX IT UP!!
* Try something new when grilling, like making shrimp and pineapple skewers or steak and pepper kabobs.
* Baste your chicken with a honey ginger sauce before grilling; serve over rice for an Asian dish that’s a crowd pleaser.
Now it’s time to put these tips to good use–invite the new people at church to your barbecue, or take some to a shut-in or someone who’s sick. There are so many ways to share your freedom in Christ, and what better way to spread the word than through food and fellowship? Remember Matthew 25:25, 40 “[Jesus said] ‘For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in . . . inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’”
