What is your #1 go-to appetizer recipe??
« on: March 29, 2017, 10:17:41 AM »
Hey all,

Now that spring is here and grilling weather is upon us I was curious as to what everyone's staple appy's are to satisfy a hungry crowd? Please include the recipe if at all possible!

A few of my fav's are:



Bacon wrapped pineapple: Insanely easy - simply chop slices of bacon in half and use it to wrap pineapple chunks. A little brown sugar sprinkled on there doesn't hurt either!



Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus: @Troy introduced me to these evil little creations! Take 2 or 3 pieces of asparagus and wrap in provolone cheese and then again in the prosciutto to hold it all together. Season if desired. These are unbelievably good!


So what's your go-to finger food recipe? 8)

Shit, those bacon wrapped pineapple chunks are amazing too. This is the kind of kick in the ass I need. I've apparently "forgotten" about side dishes.
All of my recent grilled meals have been... lonely.

Turds-Cored, cream cheese with some rub mixed in, wrapped in bacon, 225 for 2.5 hours. Prefer hickory or apple wood.

Wings-Brined, dusted with whatever rub I have, Weber baskets in the center filled with KBB for about an hour. Prefer cherry wood.

Asian wings. Vac bagged with duck fat, SV'd @150º for 4 hours, then onto the screaming hot kettle for the finale.

Sauce:

1 cup Hoisin sauce
1 cup Orange marmalade
4 tbs honey
1 tsp cayenne
2 tsp fresh ginger - finely minced
6 to 8 scallions - finely chopped
2 tbs sesame oil
a splash of Secret Aardvark hot sauce

Mix together, using a stick blender... make it look kinda like this...



Onto the grill:





Onto the plate:

Multiple kettles and WSM's. I am not a collector, just a gatherer... and a sick bastard.

I don't necessarily have a #1 go-to appetizer …
For what I end up going with, I kinda base it on the crowd, and also … what is easiest based on all of the other stuff I am doing.

Potato skins are very easy to do.  I highly recommend them.

It's always better when you're cooking on a Weber!

Thanks! This method is absolutely my favorite wing cook. Oh I forgot to mention, they are sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
