Grilled Chicken W/White BBQ Sauce and Lamb

[BBcue-Z]

Started with a boneless leg of lamb

Butterflied it to a thickness of a nice steak

Rubbed it with Mediterranean &-Spice and S&P and then marinated in Chimichurri  sauce.
Using a Kettle and a gas Camp Chef grill for this cook

I stared by grilling some eggplant wedges that were brushed with EVOO, garlic and S&P

Then Grilled boneless& skinless chicken thighs that were marinated in a vinaigrette type of dressing

The Cooked Chicken

Then topped it with the warm White BBQ sauce (recipe at the end)

Started the lamb directly over the coals

Gave it a nice sear on both sides and then moved it opposite of the coals


The lamb was cooked to Medium rare

I had some giant flat bread that I heated on the grill

Sliced the lamb and placed over one of the flat bread and topped it with some grilled peppers, onions and tomatoes

Served it with Hummus

And Tzatziki Sauce

Also topped the grilled eggplants with Marinara sauce

Made a Mediterranean potato salad as well

And dinner is served

White BBQ Sauce
This sauce is very popular in Alabama and you could pick it up at most grocery stores. It's Mayo and buttermilk base instead of the traditional tomato base  BBQ sauce. Unfortunately, it's not available in my area, so I have to make my own.
Here is the recipe
White BBQ Sauce:
1 16 oz bottle of Ranch dressing (Hidden Valley works best)
I use Ranch dressing instead of plain buttermilk, since that's the base for this dressing. It adds nice additional flavors to the sauce.
1 large fresh clove of garlic- crushed. If you have roasted garlic, it works even better
2 TBS of lemon juice
1 cup of prepared Mayo- Hellmann's works best
2 TBS of brown sugar
1 TBS of cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Simmer the sauce over low heat with continuous stirring so it won't separate. Top the meat or chicken with the heated sauce.

Lived in the south for years, the mayonnaise based sauces down there are unreal. I loved them all

I have one I call cajun sauce that is killer

Hot diggity!  White BBQ sauce sounds interesting ...

I started getting worried when I got to the chicken over gas that you weren't gonna use the charcoal!

[BBcue-Z]

Thank you ALL for the kind comments

1buckie,
I try to make the veggies as attractive and tasty as the meat. And I've never had any of the kids refuse them
I think veggies need more attention than meat. They're 90% water and need much more help than meat

Jammato,
Please share your Cajun sauce with us.

Matt and WNC,
I try to make the food looks as well as it tastes, since as they say "You first eat with your eyes"

Winz,
My neighbors visit often during dinnertime
And yes we do have a house for sale near by and you'd be welcome to drop by daily

MrHoss,
I'd be in trouble with the Mrs. Z if I put up that sign

blieb,
I was worried about mentioning the gas grill. But I really don't use them often and only for convenient.  Camp Chef Grill Boxes are the only gas grills I use and own. They are very unique and versatile.
