A Dot of Butter and a Dash of Spice
After being the head chef and bottle washer at our field day events for a number
of years, I thought I would scribble down some of the favourite recipies I've done on the trusty BBQ,
This snowballed as these things do into a full on BBQ cookbook with 112 recipies including
Breakfasts, Fish, Chicken, Beef, Pork,
Lamb, Vegetables, Sauces and Marinades, SOTA food, as well as what to take, the best BBQ's and loads of other advice.
This is a must have book for any Field day event or at home.

Sticky barbecue chicken
This is a no-fuss barbecue chicken recipe, marinade the chicken overnight and throw it on the BBQ.
What you'll need,
6 each of chicken drumsticks and wings
For the marinade:
2 tbsp clear honey
A thumbnail size piece of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 garlic clove, crushed
1½ tsp Chinese five spice
2 tsp soy sauce
3 tbsp orange marmalade
1 tbsp sesame oil
Mix all the ingrediants in a large non metallic bowl.
Preparation method
Slash the chicken drumsticks three to four times each with a sharp knife and place in a the non-metallic bowl with the marinade and mix well ensuring the chicken is well covered. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours but better if overnight.
Once it has marinated, pop the chicken on a medium hot barbecue and cook for 20 minutes, brushing with any marinade left in the dish as it cooks. If it's colouring too quickly, move to a cooler part of the barbecue to cook more gently. make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through, pierce a drumstick with a skewer: if the juices run clear they're done
