You betcha!

When I do barbecue wings, I use a slow cooker and the wings cook over a 5 - 6 hour time period. They fall off the bones and are delicious. I have just found it too much work to put them on a grill.

Add a jar of barbecue sauce to the slow cooker and about 1/2 cup of water and mix. I like to also add salt and pepper and some honey and mix the sauce thoroughly.

Dump in the wings - I add them in frozen right from the fridge.

Sprinkle with Accent and set the cooker to low. I’ve found a minimum of 5 hours cooking time is best as it not only makes the wings tender, it also puts a crust on them.

Easy and delicious and I highly recommend you give them a try.

OK - Most of us are not going to have the complete chicken she shows, but this method works with a whole chicken you purchase at the supermarket. It gives you some good techniques for cutting up those bad boys. OK - girls.

This gives you a good and complete chicken dinner.

6 slices white bread with the crust removed
4 tablespoons softened butter
1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (your choicel)
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

In a food processor, process the bread into coarse crumbs. In a bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the butter, mustard, and herbs to form a paste.

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place chicken on the grill over direct high heat and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and spread the bread crumb paste evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.

Reduce the grill temperature to medium. Place the chicken on a sheet pan and continue to grill over direct medium heat for about 30 minutes. Make certain the chicken is thoroughly cooked, then remove and serve. This is delicious with fried potatoes.

Italian dressing is used in a lot of marinades. It really gives the chicken a new taste and is easy to do. Experiment and try adding wines and other ingredients to come up with your own marinade.

Here is a easy marinade and the result is delicious grilled chicken.

3 1/2 lb chicken,cut-up
1 c italian dressing
1/4 c dry white wine
1/4 t garlic powder

Put part of this marinade aside for brushing.

Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry. Arrange chicken pieces
in a glass baking dish. In a med. bowl, combine salad dressing with
wine and garlic and pour over chicken. Cover and marinate 2 to 4
hours at room temperature, or refrigerate overnight.

Remove chicken from the marinade and discard marinade.
Place chicken on a preheated grill and have the temperature at about a medium range to keep from burning the chicken.

Grill chicken pieces, turning frequently and brushing with reserved
marinade during the last 10 minutes of grilling. Chicken is done when grilled browned on the outside and cooked to a temperature of at least 170 degrees.

Yes - I always use a meat thermometer on chicken and pork.

This is a very simple recipe but I think it tastes terrific.

3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup white worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ginger
3 pounds chicken wings

Mix honey, worcestershire sauce and ginger. Grill chicken wings at about a medium temperature, 20-25 minutes. When wings have about 5 minutes of cooking time left, brush frequently with honey mixture and turn often, until done. 

NOTE: If you can’t find white worcestershire sauce, the dark colored variety can be used instead.  

This is a very simple grilled chicken recipe but very tasty. The Dijon mustard works well in many basting sauces.

Chicken
2 T Honey
2 T Dijon mustard
2 T Melted margarine
1 t Basil Leaves
1/2 t Garlic Powder

Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking. Place chicken on grill rack, bone side down. Grill on high for about 5 minutes, then turn down heat and begin to turn chickens.

Mix together all ingredients. Grill chicken without basting, then when the chicken is close to being done, brush chicken with sauce. Turn chicken a few times, basting each time. The last basting should be with the meaty side up and only for about 30 seconds, then remove chicken and serve.
