We decided to make BBQ Chicken using Ina's recipe, except SP couldn't find bone-in chicken so we had to settle for breasts:
They got a little burnt on the grill, but they were still moist and flavorful. The sauce was the real winner. It was outstanding. We will definitely be making this again.
I made my All-American potato salad, which was a huge hit:
Aunt D brought coleslaw:
And some grilled vegetables:
My mother-in-law was in charge of the antipasto, which she gets from a local pizzeria. It is phenomenal:
My plate, from the top - a piece of the chicken with a pool of BBQ sauce, potato salad, grilled vegetables and a big pile of the antipasto:
For dessert I made a sheet cake using a Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix and frosting we got especially for the 4th. Notice the stars and stripes sprinkles and the red, white and blue theme. Very patriotic:
The cake looks delicious and very colorful :-)
ReplyDeleteLeica - It was quite tasty, too. I'm a sucker for cake and I truly love boxed cake mixes better than homemade (at least any cake I've ever made from scratch). I had a big ol' slice for dessert tonight, too!
ReplyDeleteFantastic looking meal! I especially like the look of the chicken and grilled vegies.
