Grilled chicken has rarely tasted better than it does in this recipe for whole chili-lime rubbed butterflied (spatchcock) chicken, fired up on my Grill Dome ceramic cooker.  By removing the backbone from the chicken and grilling it bone-side down, you are not only allowing the chicken to slow roast without drying out or burning from direct flame but also making sure the dark and white meat cook evenly.

With Thanksgiving just a week away, it's not only time to consider what to cook for the big meal but also what to do with that leftover turkey. 

And while few things beat a little turkey, Dukes mayo, and pepper on white bread, one of my family's favorite post-Thanksgiving dishes is a soul warming leftover turkey gumbo.

Impress your guests this Thanksgiving by giving up the oven in favor of your smoker or grill when preparing holiday bird.  To get you started, here's our recipe for the perfect smoked turkey!

Chicken has long been a grilling staple but how many times have you actually had it where the skin wasn't soft and chewy?  In this recipe, we show you how to use indirect heat to help render some of the fat from the skin of chicken thighs, ultimately turning them from flabby to ultra crispy!

While thighs, breasts, and wings tend to get most of the spotlight when it comes to grilled chicken, the truth is that chicken legs can really blow your guests' minds when done properly.

The first key to great grilled chicken breasts is a flavorful marinade, in this case a combination of soy sauce and ginger.  Next up is the actual grilling...

Sure you could serve Buffalo wings during next Sunday's big game but honestly they can be a little too "been there, done that" for our taste.  

Instead, why not offer up your guests this fierce grilled chicken breast recipe from Julie of the Healthy Home Cook.com?  Check out the full "how to" by clicking the link below!

Whether you're frying, oven roasting, grilling, or smoking (you can find our recipes for smoked and grilled turkeys here along with several grilled side dishes and desserts), actually carving the bird can be an intimidating step in the Thanksgiving meal.

Traditional smoked chicken wings get a fiery kick from the addition of Sriracha powder to the dry rub mix prior to smoking them low-and-slow on the grill.  While you can find Sriracha powder online, I find that it is just as easy to make at home by cooking it over low heat until all of the moisture has been removed.  Either way, it is a great addition to the dry rub for your smoked wings.

We’ve all seen it far too many times – chicken breasts that have been grilled until every last bit of moisture has been sucked out and covered in a layer of burnt on barbecue sauce.

But there is hope yet for all of you poultry grillers!  Here are seven tips to firing up perfectly moist and tender chicken breasts every time.

Since moving back to the South, I've rediscovered the magic of two food duos -- chicken and waffles and biscuits and Country (white) sausage gravy.  And while these are great on their own, they're even better together as in today's recipe for Grilled chicken and waffle biscuits with white sausage gravy!  I also added a bit of arugula for an additional peppery bite.

Can’t decide between pork, chicken or beef for dinner? Why not have all three? Today I’m firing up the grill for the ultimate marriage between these three proteins, something I affectionately refer to as the Moo-Cluck-Oink burger in this recipe from yours truly and sponsored by Omaha Steaks.

In his cookbook Fire in my Belly (Andrews McMeel Publishing 2014), Gillepsie shows how to grill quail to perfection and ensure that they don’t end up dried out and gamey tasting.  To make it even better, he’s created a honey glaze that compliments the little birds perfectly!

Bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers (aka ABTs) are one of those appetizers that seem to disappear as soon as they come off of the smoker. In this recipe from yours truly and sponsored by Omaha Steaks, the heat of the jalapeño is mellowed by the inclusion of cream cheese, while the smokiness of the pulled chicken and bacon make for an unforgettable start to any backyard party or tailgating bash.

If people were to hand out smoked chicken lollipops at Halloween I'd be the first one to put on a costume and start bangin' on some doors!

There's no reason to wait on the neighbors to come to there senses, though, as National Barbecue Association (NBBQA) member, pitmaster of Killer Hogs BBQ, and the man behind HowtoBBQright.com, Malcom Reed, has put together this simple "how to"!

The chicken lollipop is a “frenched” chicken leg. The meat is cut loose from the small end and pushed down creating a “lollipop” look. The leg bone is left clean and creates the “stick.”

In the book, Bill's got some wildly creative recipes such as buttery smoked cabbage, grown up style pigs in a blanket, and mozzarella stuffed meatballs.  But today we're going ol' school with Bill's recipe for beer can smoked chicken.
