Rotisserie Onions

Rotisserie Onions Ingredients 1 or more medium (8 ounce) onions, about the size of your fist. Root and stem end trimmed but skin left on. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Instructions 1 Skewer the onion through the root end; if you have an extra spit fork, use it to secure the onion to the spit. Then spit and secure the main course. 2 Be sure to test that your food freely fits and spins on the rotisserie. It is crucial to test this out before you preheat the grill. 3 Set the grill up for indirect high heat (450° to 550°F) with the drip pan in the middle of the grill. 4 Put the spit on the grill, start the motor spinning, and make sure the drip pan is centered beneath the main course. Close the lid and cook until the onion is blackened on the outside and tender all the way through, about 1 hour. 5 Remove the onion from the rotisserie spit. Be careful - the spit and forks are blazing hot. Cut the blackened skin away from the onion and discard. Dice the cooked onion, sprinkle with salt, and

Donut Ice Cream Sandwiches

Image
The next-level ice cream sandwich! If you don't already spend your summer trying to indulge in as many ice cream sandwiches as possible, it's time to start. They're so much more satisfying than a cone or, worse, a bowl (lame!)—especially when sandwiched in a donut. This is a next-level ice cream sandwich: The pillowy, fried donut halves are the perfect complement to a creamy scoop. Any flavor of donut and ice cream works, as does any sweet condiment or sauce you prefer; we played with strawberry preserves (above), dulce de leche (caramel works, too), and Nutella to come up with these stellar combos. Dulce de leche and coconut were meant to be together. Hazelnut-mocha happiness. The coffee ice cream cuts some of the sweetness. Read more...

Grilled Chicken Legs and Thighs

There's nothing quite like the dark, juicy meat of a chicken leg or thigh. The extra fat found in these parts keep the meat moist, making it a forgiving cut to throw on a grill.

You can add wood chunks or chips to the coals after the grill is heated. When the grill is ready place the chicken pieces directly over the coals skin side down.

Ready Bake Pizza On The Grill

Costco pizzas are excellent for this. I haven't tried this with a frozen pizza yet but imagine the only difference may be a slightly longer cook time.

When the grill reaches the desired temperature, place the pizza on the pizza stone and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Eat and enjoy!
