Nate and I started off the weekend by eating out with friends at the Firehouse in Harrisburg and then we pretty much turned this weekend into a summer food weekend. It's Sunday evening and I'm definitely full. On Saturday we cooked "fireman's chicken" for dinner accompanied by pasta salad and corn on the cob. For dessert, fresh strawberry sundaes.
Let me explain what I mean by fireman's chicken...at least where I live the local firemen are always having chicken bbq's. They cook the chicken on large bbq pits but it's just as good on the grill. The chicken always has great flavor and is so juicy inside. If you'd like to make your own fireman's chicken here's how:
1. Use chicken halves or chicken breasts with the ribs and bones still in and the skin still on.
2. Season chicken with some of your favorite spices or even Season All works fine.
3. In a sauce pan heat up 1 cup vinegar, 1 stick of butter, 1/2 cup of water and salt. After this mixture is heated up, let it cool slightly then pour it into a spray bottle. Mixture will coat about 6-8 pieces of chicken.
4. Put your chicken on the grill on medium heat and spray your chicken with the mixture often, turning too keep it from burning.
5.The chicken will take about 25 minutes to cook but will depend on the size of the chicken pieces. When your chicken is almost done, if desired, brush with some bbq sauce and cook for a few more seconds on each side.
6. Enjoy!

Fireman's ChickenTonight, we had baby back ribs, that literally fell right off the bone, with salads, ,baked potatoes, and rice krispie treats for dessert (I know these are for kids, but I love these treats and it's so easy to make!). I think the secret to ribs is making sure you remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. We season our ribs the night before with meat tenderizer and Sweet Baby Rays then wrap the ribs in tin foil and put in the refrigerator until we are ready to cook. We baked the meat at 300 degrees for about 3 1/2 hours. After this, we take the ribs out and smother with another coat of Sweet Baby Rays and finally put on the meant on the grill for a minute or two, if they aren't falling apart. Tonight, we just stuck the ribs back in the oven for a few more minutes to cook the bbq sauce in. Yum!
