Maple Garlic Chicken Recipe
Maple Garlic Chicken is delicious. Super garlicky, sweet, and sticky. It goes great with just about anything you can think of to serve with it. A fresh salad with a tart and vinegary dressing pairs well, so do roasted potatoes, all salty and crisp. This recipe is great for any chicken cut, from drumsticks to thighs, whole legs, and even breasts. Just remember to keep that skin on, because that is where the flavor is at.

The recipe calls for drumsticks initially, however, you can use pretty much any skin-on cut of chicken that you like. I had some fantastic thighs hanging around that were perfect.

Corn Fritters are delicious little cakes of corn filled dough, like a deep fried pancake. They’re synonymous with southern cooking like biscuits and gravy and chicken n’ waffles. With corn fritter day arriving soon, I knew I needed to try this southern treat.
Originally cooked for Napoleon in 2014 this BBQ Butter Chicken recipe was one of my first forays into exotic flavors. A traditionally Indian dish, Butter Chicken is not usually cooked on the barbecue, however, this is a grill blog and I just had to grill-i-fy this recipe.
