To keep Brats from being ash on the outside, but pink in the middle, BOIL THEM FIRST.
I didn't believe it either, but trust me, they are so much better.
boil them, yes....
but:
1) buy NOTHING BUT regular Johnsonville Brats. NOT THE 12 PACK FROM WALMART! the 5-pack from the grocery store.
2) boil in the ABSOLUTE CHEAPEST beer you can find. believe me, it makes a difference. i have had great luck with anything that ends in "z" or is named after a city.
3) Throw 1/2 a very coarsely chopped onion and two pats of butter in the boil. when they turn grey and plump...
4) LOW HEAT on the grill. turn constantly. they flame up? you lost.
5) not serving immediately? you've seen the commercial. Bratwurst hot tub. tin pan, beer, onion. let 'em sit. they're fine. not GREAT, but edible.
for best results, eat immediately.
any questions? come over this spring/summer anytime.
and pray no one starts a rib thread. i still owe Fleek a rack, and dont want to give up my mojo.
