    Should I grill or saute the onions?

    I'm headed to Costco and thought I would pick up a pair of chuckies for the 4th. Then I thought that some caramelized onions would go great on the sammies. Then I thought, maybe grillin' the onions would be good too. So what say you - grill or saute?

    Either way. Depends on if you want more sweetness or texture.

        +1^... I've done them wrapped in foil adding a tablespoon of butter a little chicken stock and a few spices on the grill. But like Jerod I prefer them caramelized in a pan.

        RonB, This is probably not what You are wanting to do but..... Last Weekend I smoked 4 Whole Vidalia Onions in Foil 4" Pans. First I cut the Ends Off, Peeled and Rinsed the Onions! Used an Apple or Fruit Corer and Wedge Cutter to Cut Nearly but Not Quite all the Way Through! I then Spritzed the Tops with my BBQ Spritz, Apple Juice, Lemon Juice, Lime Juice, Cider Vinegar, Tarragon Vinegar, Garlic Juice, and Worsteshire Sauce! Then Salt and Pepper with a Slab of Butter and a dash of Papricka on The Top, into the Weber on Indirect Side of the Vortex on Low and Slow for about 1 Hr! They Seemed to go over well with the Pulled Pork Butt! Eat Well and Prosper! From a Backyard Cremator in Fargo ND, Dan

          Thanx all for the comments. Right now I'm leaning towards sauteing in butter with a little salt and pepper.

            If you use equal parts butter and oil (I like a good olive oil) you'll raise the smoke point and get a better sauté without losing any flavor. In addition to the pepper, try equal parts salt and sugar for a sweeter result ... and you'll cut down on the salt as a bonus.

              +1 ^ on the wine. The wine also adds some sweetness.

              I agree on the deglazing with something tasty. I tend to lean more toward brandy or sherry though.

              MBMorgan ... I'll try brandy next time. That just sounds good.👍
