Honey Grilled Sweet Potatoes...

A second night of grilling for us - this time simple and easy. One of our favorite ways to have chicken is the beer can method. Pop open a can of beer, pour out about 1/4 of it and put the 3/4 can of beer in a chicken can holder or you can balance the chicken on the can directly on the grill. Grill on indirect heat for 1 1/2 hrs for and extremely moist and tender chicken. We like several versions of it - sometimes I push fresh rosemary springs under the skin and put lemon slices in the chicken cavity and sometimes I use a spice rub, other times we take the super easy route and buy a preseasoned chicken. Our favorite is a MN brand Gold n' Plump Mesquite. It is sold in a bag you can bake it in but I have never tried that - the can & the grill is the only way to go on this one.

Tonight it is the real life tablesetting, no placemats or nice arranged setting - carry out the dishes and fill with good food ;) I grill...J carves, no desserts or wine...simple good food.
Grilled sweet potatoes are made often here. Usually cut in large chunks and tossed with olive oil, minced garlic, pepper and seasoned salt and then grilled for a sweet & savory taste. This time I tried a new recipe from about.com and it was good for change of taste. I'd definitely make them again but still prefer the old method.
