Barbecue comes in many flavors

Barbeque Chicken Grilled Pizza

Ingredients

1 cup chopped cooked chicken

1/2 cup barbeque sauce, divided

1 (13.8 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

1 cup diced tomatoes, or to taste

Directions

1. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

2. Mix chicken and 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce together in a bowl until evenly coated.

3. Roll dough onto a work surface and cut in half to form 2 rectangles. Brush the top of each rectangle with olive oil.

4. Place dough, oil-side down, onto the grill; cook until bottom of dough is browned and top is bubbling up, about 5 minutes. Brush the tops of each dough with oil and flip.

5. Spread the remaining barbeque sauce over each crust; top with chicken, Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, and tomatoes.

6. Close the lid of the grill and cook pizza until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pizza from grill and cool before slicing, 2 to 3 minutes.

Barbequed Thai Style Chicken

Ingredients

1 bunch fresh cilantro with roots

3 cloves garlic, peeled

3 small red hot chile peppers, seeded and chopped

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 pinch salt

3 tablespoons fish sauce

1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces

1/4 cup coconut milk

Directions

1. Cut cilantro roots off at the stem, and mince thoroughly. Set aside a few leaves for garnish. In a blender or food processor, combine cilantro roots and leaves, garlic, chile peppers, turmeric, curry powder, sugar, and salt. Process to a coarse paste. Pour in fish sauce, and blend until smooth.

2. Place chicken in a large shallow dish. Rub with the cilantro paste. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 hours, or overnight.

3. Preheat grill for high heat.

4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place chicken on the prepared grill, and brush liberally with coconut milk. Grill chicken 8 to 15 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the pieces. Turn only once, and baste occasionally with coconut cream. Cook until browned and tender, and juices run clear.
