I sooooo tried this!! What a great idea!

  • 4 - 3/4 inch steaks, OR 4 - 3/4 inch thick pork chops, OR
  • 4 lg. skinless chicken breasts.
  • Note: You can use chicken with the bone in or bonesless,
  • it's your choice. I like the bone in better because it tends
  • to give the chicken a better flavor after it has cooked.
  • 1/2 cup A1 or Heinz 57 sauce
  • Note: If you are using the chicken breast you can substitute
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite bottled BBQ sauce in place of the A1
  • or Heinz 57 sauce.

  • 8 small frozen corn cobs
