It's going to be a belting day here in Wigan and so the atmospheres totally going to smell of barbecue smoke and of burned burgers
I fancy a barbecue myself but am a bit sick of the usual
Anyone got any fancy suggestions that don't take an age?
Quick, mrs Coolhandluke is about to nip out to do the shopping!
Ribs - cut 'em up, then marinate in soy sauce, garlic and honey for 4 hours before cooking.
Leprechaun?

It requires 2 hours marinating but I recommend the chicken breast recipie:

It's dangerous though. Before you know it you'll be setting the alarm for 4am to start your BBQ brisket!

iam in hindley in wigan if i smell your bbq i will be round
a firm favourite of mine is beer can chicken absolutley outstanding the wife will be very impressed and you get to drink a beer cant beat um
Char, welcome mate as long as you bring your own Peroni
Shoulder of pork - slooooow cooked all day with the hood down, last 30 mins, take out and smother in Reggae sauce then crank up the heat.
Forgot to say - when it's cooked, serve as pulled pork with crusty rolls, mustard, cheese, chilies, apple sauce, beer...
Not too much work? - chicken satay.
Peanut butter, lime juice, chilli, soy and a wee bit of oil mixed in, and smothered over skewered chicken cubes. Keep a wee bit for the end.
A favourite of ours, especially the wee yin is prawn lollipops!. Just 4 or 5 king prawns on a skewer and a bit of garlic n chilli butter for the last few secs of cooking. Ace.
You've got me in the mood now. 😀
That meathead site is amazing. I'm starting to worry that I might have found a new hobby to get nerdy about and spend loads of money on. 😡
as above the meathead site is my goto BBQ reference site great recipies and the techniques explained
Wigan, aaahhhh... Brings back fine memories. Had a mate who lived in hindley, used to head down from Scotland for weekends in Wigan, was brilliant. Not seen him for prob about 18 years, dunno if he even still stays there. Fish, chips, peas and gravy was amazing!.
Does chorizo BBQ ok?
Bit late answering, but yes, it does. BUT you need to keep an eye on it, it drips a lot of fat which then burns nicely, lots of flame which will blacken the meat but not cook the inside.
Pulled pork all the way made some today....

Looks ace. Make yourself some chipotle en adobo for that, it'll be even better!.
Tandoori chicken, home made seekh kebab and garlic naan was our last one. Nom.
Both easy if you get packet spices. Both healthy options served with salad and sauce.
Bit late but firm favourite in the vader house (and anyone who comes to a bbq here)....

Best eaten burnt on the out side and raw in the middle, serve with cheap lager and a fist fight for that traditional english BBQ
That chicken recipe in the meathead site (link above) was lovely!
The recipe I posted for pork kebabs, wouldn't bother again.
Indirect heat cooking method on a Webber (or any other kettle I guess) is the way to go.

Cheers, can confirm it cooks perfectly...charred on the outside just how I like it 🙂
Steak. Seasoning. Turned once. Let rest. Eat.
Or, some home made burger patties?
Or some home made chicken kebabs?
Haloumi?
home made sikh kebab

Scapegoat. ... indeed it is great with that and a chunk of salad too. Works reall well with lamb and am thinking of trying it on some mackerel too
