One of the biggest Memorial Day traditions is the simplest: lots of food!  Since we already got your gears turning with our patriotic appetizers and cocktails, we asked our friend Lee Brice to tell us his favorite cook-out recipe.

“I love my chicken rollups,” Lee admits.  “It’s one of those things you can talk up and still not disappoint people.”

And his recipe is simple:

“A little chunk of chicken, slap it on half a piece of bacon, a little slice of jalapeno and roll it up.  Stick it with a toothpick  and warm up some ranch dressing and roll over top of it, after you’ve seared ‘em up and cooked ‘em, a little bit of parsley and they’re the best thing.”

But these chicken rollups come with a warning.  “Don’t let it get on the top of your head, your tongue might beat your brains out trying to get to it,” Lee admits with a laugh.
