Easy cookout feast — without a grill
20.05.96
Memorial Day is almost here, and that means the unofficial start to deck parties and big summer gatherings. Sure, you can always fire up the grill and cook batches of Barbecued Chicken, Shrimp Dijon or Amazing Steaks. (Check out www.kitchenscoop.com for all these great recipes and more in the “On the Grill” section of the Recipe Box.) But what if you don’t have a grill? Or just don’t feel like being the grill master for the day?
When I moved last year, my grill stayed with the house as part of the beautiful deck and dining patio I had built several years back. Even though I’ve inherited a grill from friends and it works perfectly fine, I’m finding that I’m looking for more and more picnic and deck-party food that doesn’t require a grill.
Enter today’s ultra-desperate version of Barbecued Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with Barbecued Slaw. By using the rotisserie chickens available at most large grocery stores, mart grocery stores and membership-club warehouses, cooking the chicken is already completed. Last week, I snagged a couple of chickens on sale, ready to eat for $3.49 each. That’s at least a couple of dollars cheaper than a whole raw chicken at the same store. But even at the regular price, the chickens are almost always less than $6 each.
