Best/favorite grilling recipes? The fussier the better! All foods/types considered.
Margarita Grilled Cornish Game Hens. They're actually less fussy than they appear, though.

This is the best ever grilled chicken. I used rubber gloves for the bacon part. You could easily use bottled BBQ sauce instead of making your own. This is from Cooks Illustrated or Cooks Country, I forget which. I had to cut and paste instead of linking since its a subscription site (not that I subscribe, I got someone to send me this). Plus, I have no idea what they're going on about in #3. We turned on the grill and when it got hot we put the chicken on. I mean really.

CHICKEN
• Sauce
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup light or mild molasses
• 2 tablespoons grated onion (see note)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon light brown sugar

• Kebabs
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes (see note)
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons sweet paprika
• 4 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 slices bacon , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 4 12-inch metal skewers

• 1. FOR THE SAUCE: Bring all ingredients to simmer in small saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce reaches ketchup-like consistency and is reduced to about 1 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to small bowl and set aside remaining sauce to serve with cooked chicken.
• 2. FOR THE KEBABS: Toss chicken and salt in large bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• 3. Light large chimney starter three-quarters filled with charcoal (4 1/2 quarts, about 75 briquettes) and allow to burn until coals are fully ignited and partially covered with thin layer of ash, about 20 minutes. Arrange all coals in even layer over half of grill bottom, leaving other half empty. Position cooking grate over coals, cover grill, and heat grate until hot, about 5 minutes. Scrape grate clean with grill brush.
• 4. While grill heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Combine sweet paprika, sugar, and smoked paprika in small bowl. Process bacon in food processor until smooth paste forms, 30 to 45 seconds, scraping down bowl twice during processing. Add bacon paste and spice mixture to chicken; mix with hands or rubber spatula until ingredients are thoroughly blended and chicken is completely coated. Thread meat onto skewers, rolling or folding meat as necessary to maintain 1-inch cubes.
• 5. Place kebabs over coals and grill, turning one-quarter turn every 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until well browned and slightly charred, 8 minutes for breasts or 10 minutes for thighs. (If flare-ups occur, slide kebabs to cool side of grill until fire dies down.) Brush top surface of kebabs with ¼ cup sauce; flip and cook until sauce is brown in spots, about 1 minute. Brush second side with remaining ¼ cup sauce; flip and continue to cook until brown in spots and instant-read thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 160 degrees for breasts and 175 degrees for thighs, about 1 minute longer. Remove kebabs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve, passing reserved barbecue sauce separately.

Grill Pork Butt I've made it twice. In fact earlier tonight I made it in a Dutch oven in my stove. At the end I uncovered it and used the broiler to make sure it got a nice browning on top. So that makes three times. I also added sliced red potatoes, baby carrots, celery and sliced onions to the pot before cooking it at 325 for 2 hours. I left some of the carrots, onions and celery in the pot. Added a can of brown gravy. Then used a stick blender to make a fine gravy.
