Marinated Chicken and Potato salad.

Marinated chicken is a good BBQ dish. Make sure you have one acid and one flavour to marinate your meat in. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
Potato salad is everybodies favourite.
Remember when boiling your eggs, to time 8 minutes from the time the pot starts boiling.
