Other music mixes:

To make your own Grill & Chill soundtrack, create a tune list, either by following these suggestions or by coming up with your own. Sites like itunes.com and napster.com are just a couple of places where you can legally download music.

Then click on the Grill & Chill image to get your own custom CD cover. Print it, clip it and burn your mix. As a Summer of Love bonus, you'll also get a recipe for a sweet and spicy grill rub that's perfect for almost anything you want to cook over a hot flame.

All that's left to do to chill out and grill out TRUE-style is invite friends over, and pop your TRUE Grill & Chill tunes into the player.

Heat up your grill, rub this sweet and spicy mixture onto some chicken, seafood or your favorite veggies and get cookin'.

Sweet & Spicy Grill Rub

  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder (use smoked
    chili powder if you can find it)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Combine first five ingredients in small bowl and rub onto chicken, seafood or veggies. Place on grill.

About a minute before the food is done, (fish should cook until it flakes easily; chicken until juices run clear; and veggies just until cooked, but still crisp), drizzle maple syrup on top and cook about 1 minute more.
