3 The Cook
Apply shrimp, sausage and veggies indirect to the fire for a slower cooking process. Rotate as needed to develop color and doneness until they reach a safe temperature.
Drop the fajita and chicken thighs on to direct heat.
Flip fajita and chicken every two minutes encourage even cooking and doneness until they reach food safe temperature.
Plate and serve all ingredients on a single, family-style platter.
Serve alongside your favorite sides like rice, beans, guacamole, salsas and tortillas.
Use the “flippity-flip” method for even cooking all around the meat and for maximum moisture retention. The flippity-flip method is essentially just constantly flipping the proteins in intermittent time to ensure all meats are ready at the same time.
