As the daylight lingers longer each day, the more carnivorous folk start salivating in anticipation. Barbecue season approaches, liberating meat lovers from the less-flavorful pan-fried steak or bland poached chicken breasts. Likewise, the vegetarians in the family rejoice in the prospect of grilled summer squash or roasted beets and corn, rather than settling for another head of iceberg lettuce and canned beans. For juicy burgers and veggie kabobs at home or at the la (more…)

I remember those warm summer nights when my parents would throw amazing barbecue bashes for all of their friends. Everything was planned out perfectly and everyone left happier and heavier. Well now I’m old enough to throw my own parties and I’ve decided to follow in my parents’ steps. There are many components to the perfect barbecue, but the three most important are a blazing hot grill, some comfortable cheap patio furniture (who wants to pay full price in this economy?) and loads of mouth-watering food.

Blazing Hot Grill

The perfect BBQ will add a unique liveliness to any party. It really doesn’t matter if it’s gas, charcoal or electric as long as its hot and functional. Place it near the left of your eating and seating arrangement. The combination of heat and delicious smells will excite your guests and put them in a more gregarious mood.

Cheap Patio Furniture

The type of furniture you have can really make or break your party. You want the furniture to facilitate conversation and also be incredibly comfortable for your guests. Set up your sofas, chairs and table in a semi-circle fashion facing the entrance to your patio. That way arriving guests will be greeted by faces rather than the back of heads. It will create a much more inviting atmosphere.

Mouth-Watering Food

Along with great conversation, mouth-watering food is the most integral part of the perfect BBQ party. When choosing the food, try your best to go outside of the box. Search high and low for interesting recipes. Salt-crusted shrimp with lemon-garlic dipping sauce will make much more of an impression on your guests than a plain old cheeseburger.

How to BBQ Turkey

Turkey has become very popular to do on the barbecue. Turkey pieces are great and come out very tasty on the grill. More and more grillers are preparing whole turkeys on the barbecue.

Follow these techniques to get great tasting turkey right off your grill. You can add your own unique taste and texture, just follow these tips as guide lines.

Purchasing – Turkey

Buy smaller to medium sized turkeys when you doing them on the barbecue. When buying turkey pieces make sure they are broad and flat, so they will cook evenly on the barbecue.

When purchasing look for turkey with a darker skin pigment, as the darker meat can stand up to the high temperature of the grill. Darker meats also tend to hold sauces and flavours better.

Preparation – BBQ Turkey

To prevent the turkey from drying out, lightly coat it with some olive oil.

When preparing a whole turkey you will need to apply an in-direct grilling technique to fully cook the turkey without burning it. When grilling turkey pieces use a direct grilling method.

Smaller pieces like the thigh need to be seared to lock in the natural juices. Do this by using a high heat to crisp the outer layer and then a lower heat to slow cook the inside.

Don’t put stuffing in your turkey before you grill it, rather cook it fully and then place in the stuffing.

Grilling Turkey

Charcoal should be your first choice when grilling turkey as turkey the smoke texture works well with the meat. When using a gas grill use wood chippings to produce a little smoke while grilling.

Lightly grease the grill grid to prevent any meat sticking. When grilling larger sized turkey portions, close the lid to create an even heat distribution.

Here are some grilling time guidelines:

- BBQ Turkey tenderloins/cutlets: 10 – 15 minutes (direct medium heat)

- Grilling Turkey breast: 1 – 2 hours (medium in-direct heat)

- Turkey drumsticks or thighs: 1 hour (in-direct medium heat)

- Whole medium turkeys: 2 – 3 hours (in-direct medium heat)

Serves 6

Ingredients

6 chicken portions
3 small hot chillies (birds eye or Scotch Bonnet), deseeded for a milder strength
3 pieces of fresh root ginger, about 1″ (25mm) cube each
6 spring onions, trimmed
2 to 3 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon of ground allspice
1 teaspoon of paprika
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
pinch of ground cinnamon
pinch of ground cloves
5 tablespoons of light soy sauce
6 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper
1. Place the spring onions, chillies, garlic, ginger, thyme, paprika, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, wine vinegar, soy sauce and pepper in a food processor and make into a smooth paste.
2. Place the chicken portions in a dish and pour the mixture over. Turn the portions so that they are well coated. Transfer to a refrigerator and leave to marinade for at least 2 hours, overnight if possible.
3. Remove the chicken from the dish, keeping the marinade for basting, and grill over hot coals for about 30 minutes. Turn occasionally and baste with the remaining marinade.
4. Serve at once on individual plates.

Tip: Cooking a Whole Barbecue Chicken

For whole birds and other foods that take longer to cook, consider a heat proof digital thermometer. These have a base unit that sits on the counter and a heat proof cord that connects the temperature probe to the base unit.

The probe stays in the food during cooking and the base unit displays the temperature throughout the cooking time. Slide the probe into the breast on a whole chicken.

Connect the cord to the base unit. Turn the base unit on and follow the manufacturers instructions for setting the desired end temperature. Once the end temperature is reached, remove the chicken from the heat.

Using a meat thermometer when barbecuing any meat is highly recommended for the best and most hygienic results.

When learning how to BBQ with perfection you must know the essential flavors for BBQ meat. I personally feel that simplicity is usually best. Too many contrasting flavors can take away from the flavor of the meat or may overwhelm your taste buds. When making bbq meats, the woods used during the cooking process and the seasonings used to prepare the meat should add flavor toyour barbecue but not be over powering. Among the common BBQ woods you will find apple, cherry and maple bbq smoking chips. I like to have a few varieties available. I also am always sure to have on hand what I feel are the essential BBQ seasoning, spices, and basting products. These items can be used in various combinations based on your personal preference. Making your own bbq rubs, brines, and barbecue sauces for any of your favorite meats will be a snap as long as you have the following list on hand…..

The truth about BBQ is that personal preference dictates the end result more than anything else. Practice with the flavors you enjoy and try different combinations of seasonings. You will find some you like and some you don’t but, ultimately you will enjoy the journey to find your BBQ perfection. The last and most important tip here is “cook low and slow”. This simply means use a temperature of 325 degrees or less (275 – 300 degrees is best) and cook for a longer period of time. Always make sure the temperature is constant and keep you water pan full so the meat doesn’t dry out. You can even BBQ in your oven at home during the winter if you think it is too cold to fire up the grill. Making BBQ in the oven will follow these same guidelines but for wood or smoke flavor you want to use a liquid smoke product rather than wood chips. view the full article at BBQ With Perfection  as well as many other articles by this author on Hubpages.

Think in terms of two pieces per person and certainly nor more than three. You don’t want your guests stuffed ebfore the main course. So allow one chicken wing a head. Depending on size, of course, 1 kilo of chicken wings is about 8 pieces.Ingredients * 1 kilo wings, each cut at the joints into three pieces * 2tbs dark soy sauce * thumb siced piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced * 1 cup SR flour * 1 tbs oil * 6 shallots, very finely chopped * 1 tsp Chinese 5-spice * 1 cup ice cold water or soda water * salt and pepper * deep fat fryer or wok with oil.Put the chicken in a pan and cover with water. Add soy sauce and ginger. Bring to the boil and simmer until the wings are cooked. This should take about 20 minutes, depending on the size. Give them longer if they need it. You want the meat thoroughly cooked but not falling off the bone.Drain the wings and allow them to cool a little so you can handle them. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the oil and whisk in the water to form a smooth batter. Stir in the five spice and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.Bring the fat fryer to high heat and then turn it back a little so that the fat is hot but not smoking. Dip the chicken pieces in the batter and cook over a medium to low heat until the batters is crispy and golden.

Tips:

• You must take care to always wash your hands, knife, and cutting board in hot soapy water after preparing raw poultry.• You should never use the same utensils and cutting board for other ingredients without thoroughly washing them first and after use. This prevents cross contamination.• You should always marinate poultry in the refrigerator. Never leave it out in the open.• Do not use the poultry marinade for basting.• If the marinade is to be used for the basis of a sauce, bring it to a boil and boil for 2 minutes.

January 26th may be the date that Australians celebrate their great country, but it is also a day that pays great homage to the importance of other significant Australians- Our BBQ’s!

Australia Day and Australian BBQ’s represent everything true and right about Australia, Australians and its underlying psyche- sun, surf, socializing, sausages, sangas, saltwater, sunscreen, steak, sauce and so much more.

It is time to embrace our BBQs and honor them on a more regular basis- they deserve it and so do you. Invite over your friends, family, neighbours and strangers and take the BBQ challenge, which is go forth and BBQ like you have never BBQed before. BBQ’s are designed to be used so use them for every meal of the day from breakfast to dessert for a period of 24 hours. See how you go. Let those BBQ’s truly impress you once more with their talent, endurance, performance under pressure and expert ability to heat.

Scratching your head in wonder over the BBQ Challenge? Well don’t despair because yes BBQ’s can be used to produce quality tasty dishes for every meal of the day- including morning and afternoon tea. Below is a sample menu to help you and your BBQ’s get started on this great challenge:

BREAKFAST

The first and most important meal of the day should be confronted with the simple is best philosophy. BBQ’s are perfect for breakfast and seem to be specifically designed for a simple hot breakfast of bacon, eggs, chipolatas, tomato and toast. BBQ’s and Breakfast is a match made in heaven. An easy start to your BBQ challenge!

MORNING TEA

You cannot get any more Aussie than scones cooked on BBQ’s. Can it be done you say? Absolutely! BBQ’s are hot, very hot and are the perfect environment for the cooking of scones. Simply create your favourite scone mixture, shape and then place on your BBQ’s hotplate. Ensure you turn them so that heat is distributed evenly and your scones can develop a beautiful golden colour. Have the jam and cream ready as these morsels of aussieness are best eaten hot of the BBQ’s hotplate.

LUNCH

AFTERNOON TEA

As with morning tea your might think that creating an afternoon tea on your BBQ is tricky, but its not. BBQ’s are perfect for creating perfectly round, perfectly cooked pikelets or pancakes. Large hotplates not only disperse heat evenly but also have enough space to cook many pikelets or pancakes at once. Create your favourite batter then let your BBQ’s show you all how simple and easy creating a yummy afternoon tea is. Serve with fresh fruit, icing sugar and lemon, or a scoop of ice cream. Perfection!

DINNER

BBQ’s are perfect for cooking meat, but instead of the traditional steak and sausages why not take advantage of your hooded BBQ and do a roast. A slow cooked piece of lamb, pork or beef along with roast vegetables and gravy will make you many new friends. The beauty of this meal is that it utilises all of your BBQ’s capabilities- roasting, boiling, searing, slow cooking and enticing.

DESSERT

Struggling to think of a unique Aussie dessert that you can cook on your BBQ’s? Well struggle no more. The answer is simple- a BBQ Pavlova! Yes it can be done, but you do need to use a BBQ that has a hood. Heat your BBQ to 150°C. Create your Pavlova mixture. Soak a terracotta tile in water for around 20-30 minutes then remove any excess water. Place this tile in the heated BBQ and then cover with baking paper. Place your Pavlova mixture on top of the baking paper. Close the hood and let cook for about 45-90 minutes- don’t check it too often as the BBQ’s heat will escape. The Pavlova is cooked when the outside is hard and meringue-like. Once it is cooked turn your BBQ off and let it cool inside. Serve your BBQ’s Pavlova with cream and fresh fruit.

COFFEE

No dessert is complete without a nice cup of coffee. Truly impress your guests in the BBQ challenge and pull out your stove top espresso maker. The BBQ’s hot plate is the perfect place to heat your stove top espresso maker and entice your guests once more to the BBQ. Have a couple of espresso makers going at once to ensure there is enough BBQ coffee for everyone.
