You might try it first with just the sauce, as the peppers are hotter than you think.

I recommend that you open the can and empty the contents into the tin foil. Then throw the can away.

that's basic mexican street corn. still good, though/.
wheni grill corn, i soak the whole ears in water for 30 minutes or so, then grill them. takes about 20-25 minutes. peel back the husks and the silk comes away too. works great. plus, the steaming from the husks gives a really good corn flavor. serve it with butter, plain or flavored. lots of coarse salt.

My mom and dad do this as well, it's some sort of state fair thing as they call it. It does work nicely and is hard to mess up, as long as you soak the corn long enough.

Do you mean grill or bbq (slow cooking over indirect heat)? Not trying to be a dick, just understand what you mean.

I guess grill or bbq. I didn't see any grills in the apartment complex I'll be living in.

As I am moving from a condo to a house, I am going to pick up my own finally. It is also really nice buying directly from HB as they are headquartered in my home town (Tulsa, Oklahoma).

Oh, and in spirit of the thread, we make chicken wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cilantro and jalapeno a lot.

Pretty easy, pound out chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic, lime juice, inside and out, place a few stems/sprigs of cilantro plus 1/2 a jalapeno in the middle, roll chicken around the stuffing, and then wrap in bacon, use toothpicks on both ends to secure the package, repeat. Cook on a lower temp grill as its difficult to get the bacon fully rendered and just crisp, while getting the chicken internal temp up sufficiently. Practice makes perfect, and tastes great.

If cook too hot, you will end up with blackened/burned bacon (due primarily to flare ups caused by fat dripping) and a raw chicken. Not too tasty.

Great store, glad they got into the new building. Ask about scratch & dent grills there. It'll save you maybe 30%. Your grill will (or should) look like ass after a couple of years anyway.

Grills are rare in Manhattan. Befriend someone rich enough to have a backyard, or easier, a hipster. Lots of shared houses in Brooklyn with backyards.

Grills are banned in Central park, and possibly all parks in Manhattan. Though you'll see some hibachis set up in East River Park, near the East River up by Spanish Harlem and possibly way north in Riverside Park. I don't know if grilling is legal here, or just accepted and overlooked by the authorities.

One Summer I was lucky enough to have access to grills about 2 blocks from my apartment through a loophole in permissions given to my wife through her work ID. Great while it lasted.

I like to do BBQ chicken with an Italian flair. Mix together some pesto, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and tomato paste for the sauce. I usually break down a whole chicken or 2 or 3, leaving the skin on since crispy chicken skin is divine. Marinate chicken for at leat 4 hours--8 is better--making sure to get sauce underneath skin. Grill chicken, basting occassionally with left over marinade, until cooked through, kereping in mind that too much time over high heat will caramelize/burn the sauce. If at home, you can alternatively roast the chicken in your oven, then finish off with a quick trip under the broiler.
