A Bachelor & His Grill‘s “Fresh Ginger-Honey Strawberries” was inspired by these Markets… incorporating Fresh Michigan Berries, local Wild Honey infused with Ginger Root, & accompanied by gorgeous leaves of Basil & Mint.  Lite.  Crisp.  Simple.  Sweet.  Fresh.  Incredibly Delicious.  And… an ideal way to wind down a romantic Mid-Summer evening, as the Sun comes to rest over the Great Lake.  Enjoy.

Instructions
  1. Combine the rub ingredients in a large bowl.

  8. When the chicken reaches 150 degrees internal temperature, about 20 minutes, turn the grill to high and begin liberally brushing on the sauce.
  9. Grill for an additional 10 minutes, brushing chicken every 2-3 minutes as sauce begins to caramelize.
  10. Remove chicken from the grill and brush again with sauce.
  11. Place under tin foil tent for 3-5 minutes.
  12. While letting chicken rest, combine all ingredients for the blue cheese dip in a bowl and set aside.
