It's summer, maybe not officially, but the heat tells me that summer is here.  At least in Louisiana, which means one thing.  Lots of grilling to be had!  And you are going to want to make my charred spicy BBQ grilled chicken with parmesan thyme potato wedges all summer long!

Sometimes I have no idea why we grill in the summer more because it is hot as balls (excuse my French), but seriously it's 4,000 degrees outside and we decide it's a great idea to go and stand by a lit fire and grill some stuff...brilliant.  But it just tastes so good that we have to!  It just goes with summer, sweat and all, you just have to grab a cold beer, and get to grilling. 

Canean and I love BBQ almost as much as we love each other, and making BBQ at home is one of my favorite summer spreads.  The key to good BBQ chicken is to slow cook it and add a little char at the end in my opinion.  There is nothing better than crispy skin smothered in your favorite sauce..yum!

This sauce is an old faithful that I go to out of my Southern Living cookbook.  It's so good that I have never tampered with it too much, just a few minor adjustments.  It's sweet and spicy and dark in color and is just delicious!  The potatoes are the perfect side and you might even want to dip them into the BBQ sauce..get crazy with it!  This is your BBQ after all.
