Recipe(tried): Memphis Rub and Some grilling suggestions for Bonita.

To grill chicken breasts you should rub the chicken breasts with the following RUB (ADOBO) at least 4 hours before grilling the chicken. The secret for grilled meat of whatever ckass is to rub it previously with a good RUB. I marinade my meats for grilling the night before, then I refrigerate them in a plastic bag and took them out of the refrigerator at least two hours before grilling. Here is some information that I previously posted for your benefit.


Memphis Rub (Steven Raichlens recipe)


1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons accent (MSG; optional)
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 to 3 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder


Combine all the ingredients in a jar, twist the lid on airtight, and shake to mix. Store away from heat or light for up to six months. Makes about 1/2 cup. Enough for 4 to 6 racks of ribs or another kind of meat.


Indirect grilling on a Charcoal Grill: To set up you grill for indirect grilling, light the coals. When they are blazing red, use tongs to transfer them to opposite sides of the grill, arranging them in two piles. Some grills have special half-moon-shaped baskets to hold the coals at the sides; others have wire fences that hook onto the bottom gate. Let the coals burn until they are covered with a thin layer of gray ash. Set the drip pan in the center of the grill, between the mounds of coals. Place the food on the grate over the drip pan, and cover the grill. You'll need to add about 10 to 12 fresh briquettes to each side after an hour of cooking. If you want to add a smoke flavor, add 1 to 2 cups of presoaked wood chips, or 2 to 4 chunks, to the coals just before you start to cook, and again whenever you replenish the coals.


I will be posting several other recipes for you later.
