Summer Supper

Summer Supper

Barbecued Grilled Chicken
Corn on the Cob
Cole Slaw

We had a delicious supper this evening.
I made barbecue sauce the other day.
I used this recipe:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Big-Als-KC-Bar-B-Q-Sauce/Detail.aspx

The substitutions I used: no celery seed, I minced onion tops in place of the
onion powder, I minced a garlic clove in place of the garlic powder. I didn't
use the hickory smoke, and I used red pepper flakes instead of cayenne....just a few
sprinkles.  This recipe makes a nice amount for you to use throughout the week.

I made a rub for the chicken using this recipe:
http://bbqpitboys.com/recipes/dry-rub-for-pork#.UcY8UNrD-YM

The substitutions were: I used Chili Powder instead of cayenne and then just sprinkled some
red pepper flakes.  I did not make as much as this recipe called for.

For the cole slaw I used this recipe
http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-coleslaw-dressing-186437

I didn't use celery seed and I substituted Dijon mustard for dry mustard.

I patted the chicken in the dry rub and my son cooked it on the grill.
The last ten minutes he slathered on the barbecue sauce.

I boiled the corn on the cob.

I made the cole slaw and when everything was ready we place the chicken on Kaiser rolls,
place the cole slaw on top of the chicken and ate as sandwiches.  We buttered the corn.
