Weekend Barbecue
We usually don’t get the opportunity to eat barbecues out too often here as u all very well know how unpredictable UK weather is. I remember last year, we did have good summer but my mom and sis were here and we are busy holidaying, so we didn’t have many sit outs. This year, we decided that as soon as the sun is out with some decent sunshine, so comes out our barbecue.
As we had 23 degrees Centigrade on sunday, It was perfect to take out the barbecue and we enjoyed grilled sticks and many other grilled delicacies.
Most people think of BBQ as throwing a few chicken breasts, sausages, ribs on the grill and flipping them so often.
I think BBQ is all about preperation and marinade.
If u plan ahead, it will trun out to the best BBQ ever
I love to marinade whatever i want to grill, over night and the prawns, chicken pieces will be succulent when u put them on the BBQ.
Here is the marinade:

For us the pleasures of a Wonderful Barbecues has just started and many more to come with many dishes to try and experiment and most importantly enjoying family n friends

Hi Padmaja,
So you have started grilling already? Here in atlanta the weather is still not ok. I’m not good at BBQ’s but my hubby is. I just showed your post to him. Last time when we grilled shrimp it became like chips, I mean too dry. Will try your recipe this time. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Kribha
Ya even for me, BBQ was an unknown territory till 2yrs back and never knew what to actually make and after trying these basic ones now i am ready to try something different u know!!
Try these and don’t put too much coal or else it will burn, and turn them over and spray oil once on either sides and thats it, u have the most succulent meat with smoky flavour!! try them and do tell me how they came out
