Bone Salad Dressing

What are some easy grilling recipes?

I know how to grill hamburgers and hot dogs but the other stuff is questionable.. What's a good marinate for chicken and how long do you cook the chicken. Sometimes I use chicken patties and sometimes I buy with the bone in. How long does it take to grill a steak? or a thick pork chop?

Does anyone have a good pasta salad?? I usually boil pasta, add a few things and then dump a bottle of dressing on it. What kind of dressing do you really like??

Wow! You packed a lot of question into one! LOL. You'll probably get a lot of answers on the grilling stuff, so, I'll just say a couple of things on that. For chicken, I prefer to precook it in the oven & then just grill for flavor, a couple of minutes per side. Of, I use my rotissierie and cook a whole chicken about 1.5 hours. For steaks, it depends upon how done you want it (always start with a GOOD cut of steak!!! Like rib eye or fillet, etc)...then let it sit out for 30 mins before grilling, then season lightly, & grill for about 7 mins per side (for Medium). Pork chop probably about the same, maybe just a min more.

For a really good pasta salad...try this one!
