Lemon Chicken
One whole chicken 3-4 lbs is good.
Vegetable oil or some other type.
Variety of spices: salt, pepper, garlic, onion salt, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, etc.
(this is a personal choice of what you like, may be Cajun as well if you like it spicy, I've had it both ways.)
1 whole lemon
Clean and skin chicken, cut lemon into quarters and place inside of chicken cavity, rub entire chicken generously with oil, season chicken with the spices you prefer making a nice rub.   Place chicken on a cooking rack.
Preheat your grill to 350 degrees, place chicken inside and cover.  Approximately one hour cooking time.  Mine is usually falling of the bone very tender and finger lickin' good in about 40-45 minutes.  This will vary by grill, just make sure the temperature remains good.

Kabobs
1 lb. diced meat (either beef or chicken)
Italian Salad Dressing 
1 can whole potatoes, drained
Cherry Tomatoes
Bell Pepper (any color)
Onion
Mushrooms
Squash (zucchini, or yellow)
Mrs. Dash
Choose vegetables in a variety of colors to make a colorful kabob. 
Canned potatoes allow for reduced cooking time.
Place meat in a ziploc bag and add enough salad dressing to cover the meat. Allow meat to marinate for several hours. (Keep refrigerated or in the cooler while marinating.) If using wooden skewers, place skewers in water and allow to soak. (This will help them to keep from burning.) Cut bell pepper, onion & squash in bite-size pieces. Put pieces of meat & vegetables on skewers, alternating between meat & vegetables. Pour remaining salad dressing over kabobs. Sprinkle with Mrs. Dash. Cook on the grill until meat is done. (Depending on size of meat cubes, this could take up to about 20 minutes.)
