How to BBQ Summer Edition Bak Kwa 0

As summer approaches, one thinks of laid back barbecue gathering to relax and enjoy warm weather without an abundance of planning. For easy treats that require minimal preparation, our summer edition Bak Kwa (BBQ meat snacks) might just be the answer for you.

Extra crispy or mouth-watering juicy, you decide how your piping hot Bak Kwa should be done.

Directions:

1. For charcoal grill, lay the meat on the outer rim of BBQ pit, giving it indirect heating. Grill BK for 4 - 6 minutes, depending on amount of charcoal used. Flip every 2 minutes with lid on. Remove quickly once you detect caramelizing, i.e. sizzling bubbles.
2. For gas grill, preheat the grill with all burners on High. Then adjust the burner directly below the meat to 450F and flip every minute. Our meat snacks should be ready after 3 - 4 flips.
3. For oven/toaster oven, preheat the oven and leave the Summer Edition Bak Kwa in the oven/toaster oven for 2 minutes. Leave for another 30s - 1 min if you like it extra crispy. Be sure to watch it as its sugar will caramelize quickly and burn if left cooked for too long.

Talk about effortless treats that keep your guests coming for more while you look the part of a grill master!
