So I just realized that I’ve spent the past twenty some years thinking BBQ chicken is chicken with BBQ sauce on it. Not that there is anything wrong with that, in fact it is one of my favorite meals.<\/p>\n

I recently realized that BBQ is actually a way of cooking meat over a low heat with wood or charcoal. Since I haven’t had a charcoal grill since we lived in Cuba I thought I was going to have to settle for food covered in BBQ sauce forever. (Not that it’s a bad thing!)<\/p>\n

Then I learned a little trick. You don’t need a charcoal grill or wood fire to BBQ meat. You can actually take wood chips, soak them, and wrap them in foil then poke holes in the foil. Let them sit on the grill while you cook your meat.<\/p>\n

You get that amazing BBQ flavor without all the work of getting that charcoal grill just right.<\/p>\n

Over the past few weeks (since we got our new grill and I’ve become slightly addicted to grilled chicken) I’ve been experimenting with different chicken marinades. What I’ve realized is that they are hard to mess up as long as you aren’t trying to get crazy and add pineapple with apple cider vinegar.<\/p>\n

This week I tried a smokey marinade and it was a huge hit! This is perfect for grilling with the wood chips because it brings out the smoky flavor from the paprika.<\/p>\n
