Easter Grilling Plans?

[Jose]

Looking for some ideas but also thought it would be good to have everybody share what they are doing.

About all I have set in stone so far is to smoke some ribs on the Kamado. Maybe some steaks, hot dogs, baked potato, and a good salad.

I'm going to destroy some Tablitas on Saturday. In the name of the Lord, obviously.

Smoking some rabbit.

Fish fry on Saturday, smoking chicken and pork butts on Sunday.

Smoking a pork butt and beef ribs.

I got a party pack of NY strip seats (8), a 4 pack of ribeyes, about a 6 pack of chicken boneless breasts and 8 Opa sausages w/jap & cheddar. All that shit is getting infra red cooked with the usual sides...

[ELVIS]

We are frying catfish on Sunday.

God bless.

Good ideas everybody! I know I won't be doing fish, I've gotten sick of fish the past few weeks I've never been good with grilling chicken but I think I'll cut back a little on the steak and mix in some chicken as well. Not sure how I'll prepare it yet but I may post back in here for some suggestions later. And I think I'll do some beer ribs this time. I'm always doing pork and I've got that down solid but I rarely do beef ribs.

LOL! That sounds good! I had some a couple of weeks ago at a buddy of mines house.

Has anyone ever had mollejas before? My friends call them "Mexican Sweet Breads" but they are not the dessert type. It's a type of meat that Mexican's grill. I've had it a few times before but I've never grilled them myself. Just thought I would share in case someone was interested in grilling something different.

I did a quick Google search for those interested.

I might have to try those. I'm surprised my buddies dad has never brought it to a cook out. He always brings Mexican foods I like to get in on ( and some things I dont! ).

I think I could eat some variation of Mexican food everyday. I can't get enough of it.

Jose, if you have time, brine the chicken. It is worth the effort.

Good advice there, plus marinating (vacuum sealing is awesome, it soaks in well) and cooking on indirect heat until done. I smoked some this last weekend for a friends birthday party, and didnt have the ability to do a marinade or brine. We rubbed them down with an off the shelf rub with lots of garlic, and smoked them for a couple hours. We finished them off on a hot grill to get a char on the skin. Turned out great.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. I've never really looked for them in a Mexican meat market but my friends gave me the impression that they are not something readily available like fajitas so just a thought. The link I provided is spot on though about what I think of them. Good stuff.

You know I've never gone to the trouble to brine anything before. My cousin did some chicken like that one time I was over and it was pretty damn good. I wasn't planning on a lot of chicken so I'm not sure if it's worth the effort right now but I'll think about it.

Hang in there.

We did a brine on a whole chicken and let it sit over night last week. I then slathered that bitch with olive oil, covered it Rudy's rub and inserted some, tyme, rosemary and parsley into the cavity and oven roasted it for a couple of hours. It came out pretty damn tasty.

But in the oven??!!
