HOT OFF THE GRILL

Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Newsletter

Dear (Contact First Name),     

 

Daylight Savings - Take advantage of your longer evenings!Instead of feeling down about losing an waking up in the dark, know that a later sunset also means that summer is getting closer! Use that extra hour of daylight at night to do something healthy for your mind or body. Prepare a nice dinner with your partner or a friend, or barbecue outside (on a warmer night) with Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Barbecue Sauce. Remember Gayle's Barbecue Sauce is Gluten Free, Fat Free, Cholesterol Free, and Trans Fat Free. Using Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Barbecue Sauce is a great way to prepare for the summer months!

 

Easter - For many of us Easter is a time of celebration. It marks a milestone in the calendar, a revived sense of hope at this season, the celebration of new beginnings. And in that sense, as we share what is both a religious and universal celebration, we wish our readers a very happy Easter

For many of us, this is a chance to engage with nature at what is, perhaps, the loveliest time of the year. A long weekend like this is an opportunity to take a real holiday, perhaps to go outdoors to reconnect with the seasons. Camping, egg hunting, or barbecuing with Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Barbecue is always a wonderful way to enjoy the holiday weekend with family and friends.

 

Passover - Passover in 2013 will start on the sunset of Monday, March 25 and will continue for 8 days until Tuesday, the April 2, 2013. Many people spend the Passover period with family or close friends. They make a special effort to ensure that older people, the poor, and those living alone can take part in the ceremonial meals known as Seder. They may do this by inviting people into their homes or giving them a gift basket. Passover gift baskets are filled with Seder plates and ceremonial foods and wine. I like to add Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy Barbecue Sauce to mine.

 

St. Patrick's Day - Saint Patrick, who lived during the fifth century, is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people. In the centuries following Patrick's death (believed to have been on March 17, 461), the mythology surrounding his life became ever more ingrained in the Irish culture: Perhaps the most well known legend is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock. And don't worry if you can't find a little leprechaun running around, you can always find Gayle's at gaylesbbq.com as you can now purchase a bottle directly from us.

 

Enjoy!

Spring BBQ ideas....  

   

Chipotle BBQ Chicken with Potatoes and Onions
2whole  chickens (3 lb. each)
1bottle  Gayle's Sweet'N'Sassy Chipotle BBQ Sauce
2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
2cloves  garlic, minced
1-1/2lb.  red potatoes (about 4), quartered
1 onion, cut into wedges
  
INSTRUCTIONS: Heat grill medium to medium-low heat. RINSE chickens; pat dry. Cut out back bone from each chicken with kitchen shears or sharp knife. Open chickens butterfly-style. MIX BBQ sauce, peppers and garlic until well blended. Combine potatoes and onions in medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce mixture; toss to coat. Spoon onto center of each of 4 (12-inch) square sheets heavy-duty foil. Bring up foils sides. Double fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. 
GRILL chickens 15 min.; turn. Add packets; grill 25 to 30 min. or until chickens are done (165ºF) and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning occasionally and brushing chicken with remaining BBQ mixture for the last 15 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets. Cut up and serve one of the chickens with the cooked vegetables. Cool remaining chicken, then cover and refrigerate to use to prepare BBQ Chicken Arepa Melts another night. 
  
TIP: How to  "Butterfly" the Chickens. For best results, dry chickens completely before cutting them so they are not slippery. Place the chickens, breast-sides down, on cutting board. Cut along one side of the backbone in each chicken, then cut along the other side of the bone to remove it. Place chickens, skin-side up, and press down firmly to flatten.
  
Creative Leftovers: Use remaining chicken to prepare Chipotle BBQ Chicken Arepa Melts. Shred chicken; set aside. (You should have about 4 cups.) Mix 2 cups white cornmeal (arepa flour) and 2-1/2 cups warm water in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese; mix well. Let stand 5 min. Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape each into ball. Flatten balls to 4-inch patties, adding a little water, if necessary, to round edges. Preheat griddle to medium-high heat. Add patties (arepas); cook 8 to 10 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Place on serving plate. Cut 6 cheese slices in half; place one piece on each arepa. Cover evenly with chicken, sliced green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/3 cup Sour Cream.
