Potato packages with herbs for on the barbecue

I love baked potatoes, but I don't have the patience for actually making them on the barbecue. As a very good substitute I came up with these packages which have a much shorter preparation time and are wonderful to eat!

I usually use fresh rosemary and thyme because these grow in my garden and are always nice, but I think you can use all kinds of herbs, just let your imagination loose!

Recipe

For 1 potato package

Ingredients:

1 big potato
a small sprig of rosemary
a small sprig of thyme
1 clove of garlic
a teaspoon of butter
a piece of double aluminum foil, about 30x30 centimeter (11 inches x 11 inches)

Instructions:

Peel the potato and cut it in to cubes. Place the cubes on the foil. Add some rosemary and thyme. Cut the clove of garlic in 4 pieces and add these on top of the potatoes. Add a teaspoon of butter. Fold the foil together, making sure it is well sealed. Place on the barbecue.  Depending on the heat it takes about 10-20 minutes till it's done.

When the potatoes are done open the package and enjoy the heavenly smell! The taste of the herbs will really have gotten into the potatoes!

Chicken wings for on the barbecue

These Chicken wings are really simple but oh so yummy! Perfect for a simple barbecue on a glorious sunny day! Make these a day ahead, but if that's not possible you can just as easily make them in the morning.

Oh, and if your feeling particularly energetic, you can make another batch of the marinade and glaze the wings while grilling them.

Recipe

Ingredients:

2 pounds chicken wings
250 ml (1 cup) sweet chili sauce
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon seasalt

Instructions:

Mix the chili sauce, coriander, cumin and salt together.

Cut each wing three times to the bone, to make sure the wings are done faster on the barbecue.

Pour the marinade over the chicken wings. Make sure all the wings are well covered by the marinade. Put the wings overnight in the refrigerator.

Drain the chicken wings and grill them for 10-15 minutes on high fire on the barbecue.
