Spring is in the air, and what better way to embrace it than firing up the grill for a good old-fashioned BBQ, with a twist. Today, we're introducing a classic with a mellow makeover: Cannabis-Infused BBQ Sauce slathered over your favorite grillables. Whether you're grilling steaks, chicken, or hearty veggies, this sauce brings a subtle buzz that complements the smoky flavors of the grill, reminiscent of the laid-back, joyous gatherings during my post-service days. It's all about bringing people together, sharing stories, and enjoying the moment. So, let's get to it.
ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or whatever chicken pieces you want!
- 1/4 c. Soy sauce (use tomato sauce for a gluten free option)
- 3 Tbsp Drip Styx herb-infused honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or herbs matching the infusion in your honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs and lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, herb-infused honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Place chicken breasts in a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
- Prep Your Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting occasionally with the leftover marinade during the first few minutes of grilling.
- Rest & Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after grilling. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon slices. Drizzle with a bit more of your herb-infused honey for an extra flavor boost.
