The easiest &amp; best grilled beer brats recipe!

Grilled Wisconsin Beer Boiled Brats Recipe

bratwurst (4-6 sausages)

yellow onion, sliced

beer of choice (See Recipe Notes)

Marinate the brats

At least 12 hours before grilling your beer brats, marinate the brats. Add the bratwurst sausages, sliced onion, and beer to a large airtight container or resealable bag. Shake to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours, or for up to 24 hours.

Prepare your grill for zone grilling

, creating a zone of direct high heat &amp; a zone of direct low heat. If using a gas grill, begin preheating at least 15 minutes prior to grilling. If using charcoal, light the charcoal at least 30 minutes prior to grilling. (To learn more about zone grilling, be sure to check out this post.)

Boil the beer brats: 

Transfer the brats (&amp; onions, &amp; beer) to a medium cast-iron skillet or a heat-safe Dutch oven. Transfer the cast iron/Dutch oven directly to the grill grates over the low heat zone. Close the grill. Bring the brats up to a boil, then boil for 10-12 minutes or until they reach about 145 degrees F. Between the time it takes to bring the brats to a boil &amp; boiling the brats, this should take about 20-25 minutes total. Be patient &amp; keep the grill lid closed as much as possible so you don&#8217;t release unnecessary heat from the grill &#8211; it&#8217;ll only make things take longer!

Charbroil the beer brats: 

Once boiled, use grill tongs to carefully transfer the beer boiled brats directly to the grill grates. Grill 2-3 minutes per side, until charred as desired &amp; the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. Transfer to a plate to rest &amp; cool slightly before serving.

Serve the beer brats

, atop a toasted bun, topped with the beer-braised onions, sauerkraut, &amp;/or mustard as desired. Enjoy!

These were a huge hit!  So tasty, so easy, and very little clean up- a win all around!  I used a stronger beer and the flavor definitely comes through, so I would echo Jess' recommendation to use a light beer if you want a subtle flavor.

These were great! I grew up eating brats but always overcooked them. Using the zone grilling method and the beer left mine so juicy! Even leftovers the next day were great!

I never had brats growing up because my mom didn't like them.. well, now I am marrying a midwesterner, so I knew I had to make them. these were so easy and delicious! we make them all the time now

This is just a great beer brat recipe. Quick, easy and totally delicious!

I’ve made these twice. Definitely worth the extra time to get the brats prepped to be grilled to perfection. So juicy!
Even delicious as leftovers :)

Mexican corn is also known as elotes or Mexican street corn, but whatever you call it, it&#39;s delicious! Charred grilled corn is tossed with a creamy, spicy sauce, cotija cheese, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. 

Mexican Corn

corn

vegetable oil

mayonnaise

sour cream

juice of 1 lime

tsp chili powder

tsp cumin

cayenne pepper

cotija cheese

cilantro (chopped)

Preheat the grill to high heat. Brush the corn with vegetable oil and grill until slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and let cool. Once cool, cut off the kernels and place into a large mixing bowl.

Add remaining ingredients to the corn and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Skewered and marinated pieces of chicken cooked over an open flame or grill with the  combination of vibrant and zesty flavors will bring the Greek into your kitchen!

Greek Chicken Souvlaki

lemon

garlic (finely minced)

Greek seasoning

chicken breast

parsley (for garnish)

In a large bowl, mix together marinade then add the chicken pieces. Using your hands or spoon, toss together until incorporated and chicken is fully coated in marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Preheat your outdoor grill to high and in the meantime, if you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water. If you’re using metal skewers then you can skip this step.

Skewer the chicken pieces onto the skewers, about 5 per skewer. We used 8 inch wooden skewers.

Grill chicken until cooked through (160 °F (71 °C) internal temperature) and outside is nicely charred. Let rest before removing from skewer and plating.

Sprinkle with fresh parsley as garnish.

Serve with rice, tzatziki sauce, pita bread, red onions, etc.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! We made it for dinner last night and had to go back to the store tonight to grab more chicken to make it again tonight. We added it to our recipe book and will probably add it to the rotation on a regular basis. Everyone needs to try this!

SO GOOD!! Our grill wasnt working so we did these in a pan and it was still delicious. Highly recommend!

Awesome recipe. Easy to make and delicious.

Thank you for this wonderful recipe! It’s so easy and delicious! I served it with parmigiana lemon orzo from the gay globetrotter which was also amazing! My husband and I almost ate all of it🤣🤣So so good!,

This recipe was WOW! For such simple ingredients I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was so good. I did have to mix up Greek seasoning bc my store didn’t have any but I found a recipe and had all the spices. It took less than 5 min. I marinated my chicken for about 4 hours, then cooked in my air fryer at 375 or 400 (I can’t remember…) for 8 min. I skipped the skewers because I forgot to soak them. 

This was absolutely delish!!! I made a quick chopped Greek salad for the side and this was a fresh, easy, quick dinner that is definitely going into the rotation!
