Easy Grilled Chicken Recipes Plus Shrimp, Pork & Fish

Outdoor grilling is probably a bigger deal to those who

have to contend with cold, wet or snowy winters. Californians and Sun-Belt-ers take it for granted - like, "What's that, Honey? Do the Christmas roast on the grill? I'll fire up the grill right now."

Now don't get me wrong; these quick and easy grilling recipes are not about turkeys, roasts or other bulky items that would take hours to cook on a grill; we don't deal in "hours" here. You'll start and finish these in minutes.

By the same token, (how's that for an "o.f."-term?...is, "On the other hand" better?...mmm, not much.) Anyway,(always one of my favorite openers) no whole turkeys or roasts, but good "little" things, like Honey-Lime Grilled Chicken or maybe Inside-Out Cheeseburgers.
All right, folks, now get out there and grill, barbecue, bbq or whatchamacallit! And, you guys up North, if it's winter, don't forget your parkas.

So here's what to do: go get yourself a counter-top grill if you haven't already done so. All the reasons you love to grill outside apply to indoor grilling as well: the quick searing of the food to keep it juicy, the ability to enhance - Okay, Emeril - to "kick it up" - with sauces, marinades and rubs, those impressive grill marks on the food – all that without waiting for coals to burn down or wondering if there’s enough propane left to finish (I could never figure out those goofy fuel indicators) or without putting on your earmuffs. And you can still enjoy that brewski, but in your easy chair, not that uncomfortable folding chair.

"But, which type should I buy?" OK, there are three basic indoor grill types on the market: freestanding tabletop grills with heating units under an open-face grate, contact grills (like George Foreman’s) with close-able lids like a waffle iron or grill pans, or cast-iron skillets with ridged bottoms so you can still have grill marks.

No, you probably can’t cook a whole turkey or a ham but you can find many dishes here that will do just as well inside as out.

So go ahead and park that monster grill for a while and enjoy grilling whenever the mood strikes.
