Bojangles + sweet tea gg?

I don't have good tail gating tradition I hope to change that this year.

Good Thread, maybe I can learn something :thumpsup:

well see what you do is stop by your local chicken house and pick up some fried chicken then swing through the liquor store and get two bottles of johnny walker. then when you get to your favorite tailgate spot you mix them together in your stomach until your well done!:chug:

Man, I guess we have no grill masters.

I'll try to get the ball rolling

Hamburgers:
Mix Dale's sauce and Worstershire sauce half and half. Sprinkle in some crushed red pepper, Tony Chachere's (cajun seasoning), or something spicy. Cook cheese into the burger when it's almost finished on the grill.

Brats:
Get fresh ones. The one's sitting in foam and sealed with plastic wrap are the best ones at the grocery store. A meat market will have even better one. Soak them overnight in a good dark beer. I like Honey Brown to cook with. Cook them slow on an upper shelf, and transfer them down to intense heat when they're almost done. If you try to cook them on high heat the whole time you'll burn the outsides and the middle will be gross.

If you want to bring a pan for some onions and peppers, you can put that on the lower grill with some olive oil and fry those while your brats are cooking.

I reccomend drinking the beer you're cooking with while cooking.

BBQ Bacon Cheddar Chicken Rolls:
This is just a little tougher. Flatten some chicken breasts with a rolling pin. Tear up some pre-cooked bacon (you can buy it that way or cook it yourself) and cheddar cheese slices. Put the cheese and bacon on the flattened chicken. Add a little bit (very little) of you favorite BBQ sauce, and roll it up tight. You can use toothpicks to hold it together. Grill them with the grill on low, but directly on the heat. When they're almost finished paint them with as much BBQ sauce as you like.

Chicken on a stick:
Skrewer some chicken tenders. Get a grill safe pan and put some butter, lemon juice (fresh squeezed is best), a touch of oil, some garlic salt, and maybe a little jalapeno juice in the pan (on low heat). Get the mix tasting the way you like. Crank the heat up a little. Put the tenders on a stick in the pan, take them out, and throw them on the grill. You can paint them while they're on the grill, re-dip them, or whatever keeps them from getting too drip while they get crispy on the grill

If you like real wood smoked barbeque while you tailgate but don't have the 10 + hours that it takes, then you need to try the Orion Cooker! This bad boy will smoke a boston butt in about 3 hours and the barbeque is amazing. The baby back ribs that you can smoke in about an hour are fantastic and are really tender. Since the charcoal stays on the outside and never comes in contact w/ the meat you can use match light and never taste the lighter fluid. Here's the link: Orion Outdoors Products - Orion Cooker (http://orionoutdoors.com/products/cooker/)

I got mine about two years ago and now about 10 guys in my neighborhood all have them. They are amazing and small enough to easily transport to the game.:thumpsup:

Jess, great thread. Finally something that doesnt involve UGA being overrated or underrated!
I enjoy grilling ribs for the big game. I take about two racks of spare ribs and soak them in apple juice and a touch of lemon juice overnight.
On game day morning, I take the ribs out and throw on some Smokin Cole's rub for a few hours uncovered. After about another hour in the fridge, I take them out and let them sit at room temparature for an hour.
Once its closer to game time, I fire up the grill (charcoal of course, gas grills are for chicks) and throw the ribs on. Every 15 minutes, I flip the ribs and spray them down with apple cider. Once the ribs are ready for the sause, I throw on some Smokin Coles BBQ sause. Then I enjoy.
I live in NC and dont get to go to a whole lot of games, but my wife and I clear off the living room floor and throw down tailgaiting chairs, table, and all kinda of UGA stuff. Makes us feel like we are in Athens with all the family.
If your interested in a good BBQ sauce that isnt available in stores, try BAYOU BARBECUE SAUCE - "Bringin' Home that Smokin' Flavor" (http://www.smokincoles.com). They've got a great product. They're based out of Charleston, SC.
I enjoy the ribs with either my favorite beer or makers mark and coke.

I don't go to many games, but I like to fish a lot. And no one can bait a hook better than me. Around here, I'm known as the Master baiter. :D

Jess, those sound like some good recipes. I might have to make that drive to Columbia for that game.

My favorite is to get some fresh chicken wings and let them sit in garlic powder and cayneee(sp) pepper for about an hour. Then heat up the grill and blast them for about 30 minutes. The sauce is made with butter and Texas Pete with a little garlic powder. This with a fifth of Jim Beam is an amazing day.

[MBGamecock]

I use Dale's seasoning, garlic pepper, and Fajita seasoning on just about everything. If you haven't tried the fajita seasoning, you should......especially on chicken wings.

[carwwest]

i think dale's, wostershire, and a little cianne papper is a classic for burgers....i also use it if i get some cheap steaks but add some peppercorn.....

[The Ramp]

i mix it up.

boil crawfish, grill boudin, jambalaya, gumbo, and always cochon de lait for the arky game. i'll usually have a keg of some flavor of Abita for the home crowd and PBR to give to the away fans....i kid...i kid

[BamaFanNKy]

Ramp..... I still need to go buy ABita. Which one should I try first. Too many kinds I am afraid to pick the wrong one.

Bourbon Meyer 3 parts Sweet Tea and 1 Part Jim Beam. It tastes great too. If you dont have homemade sweet tea at your tailgate, you can buy it at Publix or bring Nestea. It's not as good as homemade though.
