Good morning you hungry travellers you!

I hope that your long weekend was as fantabulous as mine was! I also hope that you did not get stuck in traffic, preventing you from making delicious grilled meals at home or the cottage or anywhere in between!

I visited Kempenfest, a local tradition and a great place to find one of a kind art, crafts and more importantly food. I met someone with the most amazing sauces and marinades for grilling. The product is called Shmeer and is available in a couple of local retail locations, and online. My goodness was it ever good! Tried the Honey Brown Lager, sweet and tangy, and the Sweet and Sour Stout, very pineapple-y, and my favourite of all the Jerk Porter! Beautiful beginning, gives you a kick and then leaves with a pleasant heat and most amazing after taste. (I can’t wait for the leftovers at lunch today)

So I guess you want a recipe then? I mean I am talking all about this stuff, but you wanna know what I did right?

METHOD

1. Defrost your chicken parts and pat them dry. Season the chicken to taste with salt and pepper. Place the chicken into a non-reactive bowl, or ziploc bag. Pour the Jerk Porter over to coat, making sure that there is an even coating all over the chicken. Marinate in the fridge for 1 to 4 hours.
2. Rub your grids with oil and then preheat your grill to medium-high, about 450°F.
3. Place your chicken on the grids that you oiled and discard the leftover marinade. Grill your chicken for approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the juices run clear.
4. Serve immediately over a bed of rice and veggies, with loads more sauce and some delicious and fresh bread and butter.

Did I mention how good this was? The scent was amazing, even the cats were wandering around sniffing and asking for some! After supper we were so satisfied and content with that finish, the husband and I were seriously just sitting there and randomly “mmmmhhhhhh”-ing! SERIOUSLY! I can’t wait to try the other bottle that we got, the Chipotle Dark Ale! I think I want to do ribs or a roast with this one!

Happy Grilling!
