How To Grill Reindeer?

You can either place the reindeer directly on the grill grates, or you can wrap them in foil. If you choose to wrap them in foil, make sure to poke a few holes in the foil so that the smoke can run. Below here’re a few tips for grilling reindeer perfectly:

1. Temperature.

The ideal temperature for grilling reindeer is between 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit. When the reindeer is placed on the grill, you will notice that they start to blister and char. This is normal, and it is what you want to happen.

2. Time.

Depending on the size of your reindeer, they will need to grill for about 10-15 minutes. You know they’re done when the skin is charred and blistered. If you properly grill the peppers, the skin will peel right off.

3. Don’t Move Them Around.

Once you place the reindeer on the grill, don’t move them around. You want them to char evenly on all sides. Otherwise, you can end up with unevenly cooked reindeer.

4. Let Them Cool.

After you remove the reindeer from the grill, let them cool for a few minutes. It allows the steam to escape and make them easier to handle. Once they are cool enough to touch, peel off the skin and slice them into thin strips.

What To Serve With Grilled Reindeer?

To enjoy the flavor of the grilled reindeer, it’s recommend serving them with the crusty baguette and a glass of wine. Because they are so flavorful, they can also be used as a topping for grilled chicken or fish. Here’re some tips for what to serve with grilled reindeer:

1. Crusty Baguette.

One of the best ways to enjoy grilled reindeer is with a crusty baguette. The bread supports to soak up all of the delicious flavors of the reindeer.

2. Glass Of Wine.

Pairing grilled reindeer with a glass of wine is a match made in heaven. The acidity of a wine slashed through the richness of the reindeer.

3. Grilled Chicken Or Fish.

If you are looking for a main dish to serve with grilled reindeer, I advise grilled chicken or fish. The reindeer make a great topping for both of these dishes.

4. Salad.

Another great option is to use the reindeer in a salad. They add a great smoky flavor to any salad. Also, salad is a good option if you are looking for a vegetarian option.
