Hot Barbecue Chicken

I just LOVE grilling season. This is a combo that I got from one of my friends and it is one of my favorite and easiest  recipes. Just 3 ingredients for flavorful, awesome chicken. Perfect for all those summer barbecues, a no fuss, impressive dish. 

 

Ingredients
Chicken (I use breasts)
Hot Sauce
Barbecue Sauce

Directions 
1. Cube chicken (I prefer this method but you can leave it whole too) and place in large ziploc bag, bowl, baking dish, etc and completely cover in hot sauce. 
2. Place in fridge and marinate for at least 1 hour, the longer the better (I usually do it 3-4 hours and it gives it great flavor, over night works too).
3. When you are ready to cook, place in new bowl and cover with barbecue sauce of your choice. If you are going to grill, skewer it and cook over grill until done (you can also put this in a baking dish in the oven, but I prefer it grilled).

-I don't give cooking times because everyone's grill is different, there are plenty of websites to direct you on times....here is one by Rachel Ray. 

Margarita Mondays: Lemonade Margarita

After the success and deliciousness of the last two margaritas (pink lemonade and limeade) and I decided to finish off the trio with lemonade. This one is a double whammy of awesomeness for the summer. Lemonade+Margarita=winning. 

Luckily I had my friend with me to taste test and drink this one. I was alone with the limeade (don't worry, I had it throughout the day...so basically one an hour-these keep great in the freezer!).

Lemonade Margaritas

Ingredients

1 can of lemonade concentrate

4 cans full of ice
1 cup of tequila (1/2 can)

1 pour (shot worth) of triple sec

Directions

1. Put everything in a blender and mix it all together. 

2. Serve. 

Tips/Comments
-It may seem like a lot of tequila but it doesn't taste like it...and I like my drinks strong, if you want less tequila just put however much you think is appropriate in.
