Lexington BBQ Style Grilled Chicken
You will need:
2 cut up whole chickens (or I just buy a 10 lb bag of quarters when they are on sale)
2 cups cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil
3 T crushed red pepper
4 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
1) Start in the morning (or night before) by marinating the chicken quarters. I usually pull the skin off to reduce those Southern calories. It's easiest to halve the above marinade recipe into two gallon zip lock bags and do half the chicken at a time. Turning occasionally throughout the day. Chill at least 2-8 hours. (I ran out of freezer bags so just used the rubbermaid, it infuses better with the bags, I think)
2) Remove and discard marinade.
3) Grill with lid on 35-40 minutes.
Lexington BBQ Baked Beans
You will need:
1 roll sausage
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup favorite BBQ sauce
1 cup brown sugar
3 cans pork-n-beans
**I notoriously forget to take photos until I'm cooking mid-stream. So pay no attention to the ground turkey in the photo - but I didn't have an extra sausage to photo! This also explains the opened cans.
1) Cook sausage, drain. Add chopped onion, saute.
2) Add ketchup, BBQ sauce, brown sugar - simmer about 5 minutes.
3) Stir in beans and simmer another 5 minutes.
4) Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Coconut Brownies
You will need:
1 pkg fudge brownies - prepare as directed
10 oz sweetened, flake coconut
1 pkg chocolate and peanut butter chips (these have gotten hard to find - I had to use half a bag of peanut butter and half a bag of milk chocolate this time)
14 oz fat free sweetened condensed milk
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Spray 9X13 pan with cooking spray. Prepare brownie mix and bake 16-18 minutes.
3) Layer coconut, then chips, then sweetened milk.
4) Bake until chocolate is melty and coconut is beginning to brown. About 20-30 minutes more. Allow to cool before cutting.
And now, dear friends, you know why my husband will always come home to me. Cause the above is the recipe that = true love on all counts.
