Dewberry Hills Farms BBQ Chicken with Grilled Okra

Roasted New and Sweet Potatoes with Chives

We love to grill because it means easy cleanup and you get to enjoy a beer and kick back while your dinner cooks! My husband is the master of trying out new things on the grill. He has even figured out how to grill bacon! 

BBQ Chicken

One whole Dewberry Hills Farms chicken (fresh meat case at Wheatsville) *The extra chicken is delicious on sandwiches

Annie's Organic BBQ Sauce (gluten-free) or Stubb's BBQ Sauce 

1. Cut the spine and neck out of the chicken. 

2. Start breast side down so that cavity is exposed to the top of the grill. 

3. Grill for approximately 20-30 minutes. 

4. Baste the backside every 10 minutes with BBQ sauce. 

5. Flip chicken over and baste every 10 minutes for another 20-30 minutes. 

6. Grill until chicken is firm (should bounce back when pushed gently) but still moist. 

Grilled Okra

1. Rinse okra and dry. 

2. In a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
