In many cultures, Sundays are reserved for family gatherings and feasting, making the Sunday BBQ Feast a perfect way to bring loved ones together.

Instructions

Preparation

1. Marinate the Meat

   Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the meat, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
   For best results, massage the marinade into the meat for maximum flavor infusion.

2. Prep the Grill

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates and oil them lightly to prevent sticking.

Grilling

1. Grill the Meat

   Place the marinated meat on the grill. Cook to your desired doneness, flipping halfway through. Rest the meat before slicing.
   Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness: 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 160°F (71°C) for medium.

2. Grill the Vegetables

   Brush the vegetables with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until tender with nice grill marks, turning occasionally.

Serving

1. Plate and Garnish

   Arrange the grilled meat and vegetables on a platter. Garnish with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon or lime for brightness.

2. Enjoy!

   Serve your Sunday BBQ feast with your favorite sides and sauces. Dig in and savor the smoky flavors!

Note

- For a vegetarian option, you can substitute the chicken with tofu or halloumi cheese marinated in the same BBQ sauce.
- Make sure to preheat your grill or BBQ to ensure even cooking and those beautiful grill marks.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the BBQ sauce.
- Marinate the chicken overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
- Don't forget to baste the chicken with the BBQ sauce while grilling for that sticky, caramelized finish.
- Serve with a side of coleslaw, corn on the cob, and garlic bread for a complete BBQ feast.
- Leftover BBQ chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
