The Aussies may love their shrimp on the barbie.

But we Americans can't get enough of chicken on the grill.

After all, it's economical, versatile and always a crowd-pleaser.

Especially when it's tender, moist and flavored with a fragrant Thai paste like this one from "Steven Raichlen's Planet Barbecue!" (Workman Publishing) by that master of the grill, Steven Raichlen.

You marinate a quartered chicken (we used chicken thighs) with a paste of garlic, fresh ginger, lenongrass, cilantro, sugar, pepper, soy sauce and curry powder. Raichlen says to use a mortar and pestle, but a food processor will make easy work of it even quicker. Let the paste do its magic on the chicken for at least four hours in the fridge or overnight.

Grilled Corn -- Asian Style
 


Grilled Corn
 
Want to dress up corn on the cob in a whole new way?

Look no further than "Corn with Hosin-Orange Butter" from the new "The Grilling Book: The Definitive Guide from Bon Appetit" (Andrews McMeel), of which I recently received a review copy.

It's easy as can be - just a matter of grilling whole, shucked ears, then smearing them with a creamy mixture of softened butter, hoisin sauce, Chinese chili-garlic sauce and grated orange zest.

The recipe calls for white corn. But I don't see why yellow or bi-colored corn won't work equally well. Click here for the recipe.
