SOME BBQ RECIPES FOR LABOR DAY

With Labor Day weekend coming up soon, I thought a few more recipes for the grill might be in order.

Grilled Stuffed Chicken Breast - A few years ago, I had a LTR with a woman with four children ranging from early teen to young adult. Of all the things we did on the grill, this was her kids favorite. For Karen and Daniel:

INGREDIENTS (for each serving you need)
a boneless Chicken Breast fillet (half of a whole boneless breast)
1 slice Muenster Cheese, folded in thirds
1 pc thickly sliced Bacon (or, in the case of WC, SME, and Mr. A, Back Bacon)
a fruity BBQ GLAZE, like Teriyaki, Hawaiian, or Cherry

With a tenderizing mallet, pound breast thin and flat. Place the folded Muenster Cheese in center. Wrap like you would a burrito, ends first, and secure with toothpicks. Secure one end of Bacon slice to end of Chicken with a toothpick, and wrap around to other end securing with toothpick. Place seam side down, directly over coals. Cook about 10 min, or until bacon crisps a bit (you may want to keep spray bottle of water handy to control flare ups). Turn seam side up, spread with glaze, cover grill, and cook about 10 min more, or till bacon crisps.

Alternative recipe - prepare coals as for Pulled Pork BBQ. Flatten Chicken Breast with mallet. In center, place one slice Canadian Bacon (or for SME, WC, and Mr. A, Bacon) and folded Muenster Cheese. Wrap like you would a burrito, securing with toothpicks. When coals and chips are ready, place seam side up over drip pan, cover grill, and cook about 50 min. Pour on glaze, cover grill, and cook about 10 mins, or till sauce starts to carmelize.

Fabulous Country Ribs
I much prefer Country Ribs to their much less meaty cousins, Spare Ribs!

Prepare grill as described for Pulled Pork. Rub down ribs with KC Masterpiece Rub or Lowery's Seasoned Salt. Add a kettle of boiling water to the drip pan, and arrange ribs on grill over pan. Cover grill and cook until easily pierced with a fork, about 75 mins. Remove to plate.

Remove grill and empty the water from the drip pan. Return pan and grill and arrange ribs over pan. Liberally spread ribs with your favorite BBQ Sauce. Cover grill and cook until sauce starts to carmelize, 10-15 min.

Perfect Roasted Corn On the Cob
Soak unshucked ears in bucket of water for at least a half an hour. Place ears on grill directly over coals. Grill, turning frequently till outside leaves are thoroughly charred. Pull leaves off ear (the silk will amazingly come right off with the leaves). Serve with butter, salt and Parmesan Cheese.

Serve with Skillet Beans, Barb's Mexican Salad, and Mom's Strawberry Refrigerator Cake, and you'll have a Labor Day to really celebrate!
