Pompeian, a leader in olive oils and vinegars, is celebrating by sharing simple tips and recipes. These recipes will help you get a taste of the Mediterranean without ever having to leave your backyard. It is so easy to participate. You just need to swap butter or vegetable oil for Pompeian Grapeseed Oil or OlivExtra Premium Mediterranean blend. You can also combine Pompeian oils and vinegars to replace bottled dressings and marinades.
My husband and I enjoy grilling, and often entertain with friends who also like to grill. We take turns trying to top each other’s recipes and introducing new foods. We recently had a dinner party with a few of our epicurean friends who introduced us to a 3,000-year-old Chinese chicken recipe. Wow! Hard to top, but we countered with the Grilled BBQ And Blue Cheese Chicken recipe I adapted from the Weber grilling book. The chicken was so moist, and was a huge hit! The blue cheese was the finger-licking complement to the spicy-sweet BBQ. I used the OlivExtra Premium Mediterranean blend as the secret to the moist chicken which you can find in the recipe below.
- 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
- ½ minced yellow onion
- ¼ c tomato paste
- 3 T Pompeian Roasted Garlic Vinegar
- 1.5 T packed brown sugar
- 1.5 t worcestershire sauce
- 1 t lemon juice
- ¾ t mustard powder
- ½ t salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ t chili powder
- ⅛ t black pepper
- 2 pounds of drumettes and chicken wings
- Pompeian OlivEtra Premium
- 2 oz crumbled blue cheese
- combine all but the last 3 ingredients in saucepan
- simmer over med heat until thickened (15 min) stirring occasionally
- put ⅓ of sauce in small bowl for grilling, saving the remainder for serving
- prepare grill for direct cooking over low heat (250-350 degrees F)
- lightly brush both sides of chicken with Pompeian OlivEtra Premium and season with salt and pepper
- grill chicken over direct low heat with the lid closed for 8 minutes, turning once
- brush chicken with sauce and grill for 8 more minutes turning once
- brush with the remainder of the sauce
- add blue cheese and serve
