On Sunday night, we had some friends over for dinner. We wanted to BBQ as we have that ity bity BBQ we got when we went to the beach. So Dan got it all set up on the fire escape which I'm sure broke lots of laws and rules, but it smelled so good and BBQ-y!
However, with all that wind and air moving around, the coals burned way too fast I think. It had a hard time staying very hot so it took forever to cook the meat. I think from the time we put the first legs and thighs down until Dan took the last ones off was maybe 2 hours, maybe even more. One of our friends brought watermelon and I made
this cucumber salad. I highly recommend it. I also added some tomatoes to make it a little bigger. The tip about salting the cucumbers and letting them drain for an hour is awesome! It was still kind of liquid-y but not half as bad as it would have been. The salad has a perfect sweet and spicy flavor. The salad, watermelon and BBQ chicken made the perfect end of the summer meal. Yum-o!
