The Golden Rule
"Never skip the thirty-minute check and stir! Stirring redistributes the melted butter and liquid, preventing the bottom layer from scorching while ensuring every onion wedge browns evenly."

Chef's Notes
Vidalia onions are prized for their high water and sugar content, making them the ultimate candidate for low-and-slow grilling. The addition of beef bouillon provides a rich umami backdrop that perfectly balances the onion's natural sweetness.
Pro Tip
Always opt for heavy-duty aluminum foil over standard foil. Standard foil easily tears when flipped or stirred on rough grill grates, which causes all your delicious melted butter and juices to leak into the fire.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to neglect the foil packet and let these onions char into ungodly charcoal wedges instead of sweet, buttery gold, I shall personally banish you to boil unseasoned water for eternity!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we spend an hour grilling onions just to make them soft, and he told me it's because the onions were too 'hard-headed' to serve raw.
