GRILLED ONION CHIPS
Steps:
- Cut off ends onion and remove off peal. Cut onion in half lengthwise. Take onion apart in layers. Larger pieces should be cut in half. Mix garlic, thyme, oregano, Mrs. Dash, olive oil and vinegar in small bowl. Put onion pieces in freezer bag, pour mixture in and marinate for one hour. Prepare grill for high heat setting. If using charcoal (preferred) coals should be hot but not flaming. Take oregano off of sticks with fingers. Thread onion pieces 1" apart on sticks. Keep marinade. Place on grill and actively turn as edges of onions are crisped. Brush on more dressing at least one time during cooking. Remove from heat. Serve with sticks in tact. Pull off onions and dip into sour cream mixed with chives if desired. It is important to make these as crispy as possible without being burnt. They are then like potato chips--but much more nutritious. Quick Cooking tip: Purchased Italian Salad Dressing can be used to marinate onions. *Wild Oregano comes in bunches. It can be found in Greek food stores or at Minosimports.com.

Steps:
- Prepare outdoor or indoor grill.
- In a very small saucepan heat rosemary and vinegar over low heat until hot, but not boiling. Remove pan from heat and cover. Let stand for 20 minutes so that the vinegar becomes infused with the rosemary.
- In a metal measuring cup heat oil over low heat or microwave until warm. (Heating thins oil, making it easier to brush sparingly over onions.) If you are using an indoor grill, place slices on the grill. For an outdoor grill, use a grilling basket to keep onion slices from falling through. If you don't have a basket, place a soaked bamboo skewer through the rings parallel to the cuts so that they do not tumble through the grill. Brush both sides of each slice lightly with oil. Season onions with salt and pepper and grill 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred and softened.
- Transfer onions as grilled to a large bowl, separating rings, and toss with vinegar mixture, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve onions warm or at room temperature.

WHOLE GRILLED ONION
One night my neighbor was placing on the grill what appeared to look like a giant Hershey kiss. When he gave me the recipe and I tried it, I was hooked. This is the easiest and best tasting way to prepare a whole sweet onion on the grill. He just used the bouillon cube but I made a few additions which really enhances the flavor. You can substitute a packet of powdered beef bouillon if you like.

Steps:
- Peel the onion and cut off both ends.
- With a knife or an apple corer hollow out the center of the onion about 1/2 way through.
- Place the bouillon cube or granules and the garlic clove in the hole. Press in enough cheese to fill the hole to the top.
- Place the onion on a large sheet of heavy duty foil and gather. It will resemble a "giant Hershey Kiss"
- Turn grill to med. high and place onion on grill. I use indirect heat side so the onion doesn't burn. You can also use the top shelf. Close the lid (if it pushes down top of foil, that's ok)
- Grill for 1 hour or till tender.

GRILLED CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES AND CORN
While you could rest grilled chicken on a cutting board to ensure the juices don't run out of the meat when it's sliced, a more delicious option is to place the chicken on a pile of tomatoes, corn and red onion. The seasoned drippings act as a no-effort warm dressing, bolstering the flavor of the vegetables and softening their raw edges. Before grilling, the chicken is rubbed with chili powder, the spice mix that typically includes dried oregano, garlic, onion, cumin and ground chiles, for complex flavor with minimal effort. Fresh oregano, while optional, emphasizes the herbs in the chili powder. Use this technique of resting grilled proteins on fresh produce for many summer dinners: pork chops on peaches, steak on chopped scallions and ginger, sausages on radicchio and halloumi on citrus.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, coat the chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt; set aside. (You can do this step up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate and bring to room temperature before cooking.)
- On a large platter, layer the tomatoes, corn kernels, red onion and fresh oregano (if using). Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- When ready to grill, clean the grates with a grill brush, then lightly grease the grates. Grill the chicken until browned and cooked through, and it releases easily from the grates, 5 to 7 minutes per side. (If flare-ups occur, move the chicken to an area of the grill with smaller flames underneath. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and peeking occasionally for flare-ups.)
- Transfer the chicken to the platter. Let rest for 5 to 20 minutes before serving.

Tips
- Choose firm and ripe onions for the best results. - Slice the onions thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly. - Use a neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable oil, to prevent the onions from sticking to the grill. - Grill the onions over medium heat. This will help them caramelize and develop a slightly crispy texture. - Keep an eye on the onions while they are grilling. They can burn easily, so it is important to remove them from the grill once they are cooked to your liking. - Season the onion chips with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. - Serve the onion chips immediately. They are best enjoyed warm and crispy. - Use onion chips as a garnish for salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. They can also be used as a crunchy topping for soups and stews. - Store leftover onion chips in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 3 days. ###Conclusion
