Lemon Thyme Barbecue Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap. Using a mallet or rolling pin, pound each to an even thickness of 1/2 inch. Do not make them any thinner or they could dry out.
• Place chicken in a large bowl and toss with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic and the zest and juice of 1 lemon. Mix in olive oil. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Remove chicken from fridge while you heat the grill.
• Light the grill, building a hot fire, or heat your gas grill to high. Once grill is fully heated, brush breasts lightly with olive oil and place chicken on the grill. Cook until undersides are browned and chicken is about halfway cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip breasts and grill until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Transfer chicken to a platter. Drizzle with oil and garnish with additional lemon juice, olive oil and basil or mint leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Top garlic with oil, zest, thyme, salt, and pepper, and wrap in parchment-lined foil. Bake until garlic is golden and soft, 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap, and let cool for 10 minutes. Squeeze garlic from peels, and puree with zest, thyme, and lemon juice in a food processor.
• Combine garlic mixture and barbecue sauce in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Gently simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool, and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Combine lemon juice, garlic cloves, onion powder, salt, and paprika in a blender and process for a minute on high speed.
• Through the hole in the top of your blender, slowly add the oil, with the blender set to high, and then cover up the hole and blend another minute.
• Add herbs blend for 30 seconds.
• Keep chilled for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Remove the cooked chicken or pork from the skillet. Working over medium-high heat, melt the butter, add the thyme and shallot, and cook for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour into the pan, then cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the chicken stock, bring it up to a bubble, and cook until thickened, 2 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons of lemon zest and the juice of the zested lemon, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the chicken or pork and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until butter melts and sauce is well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cool. Whisk over low heat to rewarm before using.)
• Arrange corn pieces, eggplant rounds and onion wedges in single layer on large baking sheet. arrange bell pepper strips, zucchini spears, asparagus spears and carrot slices in single layer on another large baking sheet. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to small saucepan and reserve for dipping. Brush both sides of vegetables lightly with some of remaining basting sauce.
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill Corn, eggplant and onion until tender and lightly charred, brushing occasionally with basting sauce and turning with tongs, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables to small platter as vegetables finish grilling. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Grill bell peppers, zucchini, asparagus and carrot until tender and lightly charred, brushing occasionally with basting sauce and turning with tongs, about 6 minutes. Transfer vegetables to same platter, arranging alongside other vegetables. Season all vegetables with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and lemon.
• Place pan with reserved 1/2 cup sauce over low heat or at edge of barbecue and whisk sauce until warmed through. Transfer to small bowl. Serve vegetables, passing warm dipping sauce separately.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and use to baste your favorite meat when grilling- great on spareribs!

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and lightly pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes.
• While chicken rests, whisk together lemon juice, thyme, sugar, red-pepper flakes, oil, and 2 teaspoons salt.
• Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking; let grates get very hot (this ensures a good sear without drying out meat).
• Oil grates and cook chicken, turning occasionally, until charred in places and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to a serving dish. Pour or spoon sauce over pieces while still warm; serve.
