Before the school year begins, it is time to throw in the last minute family and friends barbecue. While we have the nice weather, we might as well enjoy spending extra time outside. What is the perfect way to do that? Break out the grill and make a delicious dinner!

When it comes to grilling, there are so many more elements of flavor that get added to the dish. It is all up to you and how you like your meal to be cooked. Grilling can add smokey and charred flavors that are difficult to get while cooking indoors. 

BBQ chicken, or any protein, is a quick and easy way to take advantage of the perfect grilling weather. You can marinate your chicken beforehand or you can brush the sauce on while it is cooking. Either way, it is a meal that everyone will enjoy. Perhaps, if the weather doesn’t hold up you could be a little crazy, like my dad, and hold an umbrella while you grill!
