Docks and dip. Photo: Erin McGrady -Add diced tomato and simmer on low heat for 30 minutes until the dip thickens. Check this by coating a spoon and letting the dip cool (It should be creamy but not soupy.) -Pour in a bowl and eat with corn chips, pretzels, veggies, crostini, or anything dip-worthy. Main Dish: Curry Beer Chicken

Love the sizzle of a grill. Photo: Erin McGrady Ingredients: -1 cup beer (we used Amstel Light) -2 lbs chicken (we used bone-in thighs with the skin) -1/2 cup olive oil -1 1/2 tsp salt -1/2 tsp black pepper -1 tsp curry powder -1/2 tsp cumin -1 tsp dried oregano -2 cloves garlic, minced -3 tbsp onion, chopped fine -1/4 cup fresh thyme -1 lemon squeezed

This marinade just got a little better. Photo: Erin McGrady Directions: -Add all of the ingredients to a 1 gallon resealable bag. -Squeeze out as much air as possible and close bag. -Knead the bag so that all the ingredients are evenly mixed. -Put the bag on a plate or pan and let sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. -Remove from refrigerator and turn the bag over a few more times to evenly disperse the marinade.

Curry and beer come together to create some of the best barbecued chicken. Photo: Erin McGrady -Turn your grill to medium heat. -Sear the chicken for ten minutes on one side; flip to sear for ten minutes on the other side. -Change heat to low and move chicken to the upper rack to cook for ten more minutes or until chicken is cooked through the center. If you don’t have an upper rack on your grill, put chicken in a pan and tent loosely with foil for ten minutes to finish cooking.
