Outdoor Movie and BBQ Recipes

As the weather warms it is time to turn on the grill. Combine your favorite family pastime with an outdoor movie everyone can enjoy. Open Air Cinema Systems' large portable projection screens can be setup on the lawn or patio to entertain while the coals get going. Try out these extra spicy recipes to give your event kick and combine with a beach themed movie. Animated adventure based in Hawaii, Lilo and Stitch, is a popular choice for kids. Or for the adults, a 1960s beach movie such as Beach Party or Gidget can top off your outdoor movie party theme.  

Fiery Pork Skewers

Skewered meats are a festive way to amp up your outdoor BBQ fun giving it a beach camping vibe. Take a three-quarter pound pork tenderloin and cut into 1 cubes then marinate them in teriyaki sauce, red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat the cubes and let sit for up to 12 hours then skewer the meat and place it on the grill. Be sure to brush any remaining sauce onto the skewers frequently to keep them nice and tender.  

Cajun BBQ Chicken

Louisiana's Cajun population know how to make some spicy home BBQ, this recipe is all about the marinade. Combine a teaspoon of cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, ground thyme, onion powder, salt, pepper and red paper flakes with a third cup of soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and vegetable oil. Whisk this combination until it is well blended and fragrant. Add boneless chicken breasts to the marinade and refrigerate in an air-tight container for at least two hours. Place the chicken on the grill and continue to brush the remaining marinade onto the chicken.  

Roasted Jalapeno Peppers

An extra spicy BBQ menu is not complete without jalapeno peppers! Take some large peppers and slice them from stem to tip, scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Stuff the pepper with your favorite shredded Mexican blend cheese. These peppers do not need much time on the grill; just three to five minutes on each side should do it.   For the adults, top off you spicy BBQ meal and outdoor movie party with a spicy margarita! Combine jalapeno infused tequila with a margarita mix then have limes and very small slices of jalapeno for garnish.   Enjoy!
