So, I feel this month I am unworthy of truly getting in on the 4th of July Throwdown as I just don't have that much stuff planned as other people are bringing food as well, but, here is what I am grillin up to Celebrate our Nation.
All the while drinking a great American Beer.

First, a jerk inspired Grilled Chicken Marinade/Rub

Garlic and onion powder
New Mex Red chili powder
Lots of Thai Chili Powder
Chipotle powder
Arbol Chili powder
Crushed black pepper
Pink Salt
Lots of Fresh minced Thyme (took the pic before I added it)
Cinnamon
Clove
Nutmeg
And annato powder

To that I added the juice of 2 oranges, some brown Sugar, and some olive oil.
That went into a bag with some chicken Thighs and Legs last night, along with another Bag of Chicken covered in "Rudy's Rub" for those that don't like it spicy.

As an Appetizer, I am doing some Hab poppers
Cream Cheese and Sharp Cheddar stuffed, and wrapped in Smoked Bacon.
They'll be grilled and slathered in BBQ sauce.

I also sprinkled the Poppers w a little of the Rudy's as well.
This will all be grilled over a bunch of Mesquite Chunks.

As a Desert, there will be a 12in Dutch oven apple pie topped w Vanilla Ice cream. I don't think you can get anymore American than that on the 4th.

More pics to come as the grillin' continues
 
What the F is 76 cents for? For 1776?
Some one here might end up swallowing that. Seriously, I have a bunch of delinquent self proclaimed Rock N Roll stars coming over.

I just ran to the store cause I realized I was severely missing something... Whiskey!!! And Corn. How could I forget the corn yesterday???


Alright, I'll post it over in the Throwdown thread as well. At least, I'll link this thread over to it.
 
sorry man, jus saw this again- 76 cents is in the rules an stuff... check it out on the thread- happy 4th!
 
Here is a shot of the Poppers, and as much of the pie as I could get a picture of before it was gone...
The chicken, well, lets just say Acohol got in the way of me taking pictures of the chicken. I just forgot to do it. It came out great though.

I also seriously did have 76 cents out for one of these shots, but like I was worried about, it got eaten by an idiot cause it was shiny.

Good stuff, J!

I did quite the spread for the 4th, but spent my time visiting with my guests (had about 14 people here) instead of snapping pictures of the food.

My tiny grill is still panting! :lol:
