Friday Feast: BBQ Alligator

Summer is right around the corner! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to break out the grill for some BBQ. Of course, I’m a fan of the classics: chicken, pork, beef. But I think it’s time to shake this Friday Feast up a bit. Are you ready? Hunters of the south, this ones for you.... BBQ Alligator!

Granted, I won’t be able to try this one for myself living in a state sans alligators (BRB moving to Florida). But it sure looks good! 



Ingredients

• 2 pounds of alligator steak, cut into cubes large enough to sit on top of grill grates
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar

Instructions
Combine ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Lay the pieces of alligator meat on a low heat grill and close the lid. Turn the pieces over after , until they are cooked through.

Transfer to a platter and serve with toothpicks and barbecue sauce drizzled over the top.

Serves 4
