Curried Chicken Sandwich
Burgers aren't the only grilled things we want to eat with our hands. Thanks to a flavorful brine and a supershort cook time, sandwich-friendly boneless breasts take on a whole new life between two slices of bread.
Tomato and Sweet Onion Salad
We love using farmers' market heirloom varieties in this tomato salad recipe.
Chicken Under a Brick with Grilled Avocado, Scallion, and Red Onion
Spatchcocking is the speediest, easiest way to grill a whole bird. It cuts down on time and leaves you with crisp, crackly skin. Weighing it down with bricks means more grill-to-bird contact, which ensures super crackling-crisp skin.
Herbed Grilled Chicken Wings
An herb marinade is your secret weapon for these grilled chicken wings. And pretty much everything else.
Beer-Can Chicken
There's quite a bit of lore surrounding beer-can chicken, and for good reason. Just look at that burnished mahogany bird. The steam from the brew flavors the meat and keeps it moist. The can props the chicken up, so it roasts evenly--no scorching, no flipping, no stressing. And you get to drink some beer. We're believers.
Three-Bean Salad
You've got plenty of options for this salad: butter beans, lima beans, black-eyed peas, or navy beans. Just be sure to use green beans for some color.
4-3-2-1 Spice Rub
You can use this simple formula to wake up chicken, add another layer of flavor to pork or steak, or sass up all kinds of vegetables.
Grilled Chicken Tacos
These chicken tacos are made with thighs, which are more flavorful than chicken breasts; plus, they're less expensive. Put them to work in any fast weeknight preparation, starting with these spiced tacos.
Barbecued Chicken
Avoid rookie mistakes when it comes to barbecuing chicken. If you apply the sauce too early, it will scorch. And most bottled sauces are too sweet, which is where this vinegary version comes in.
The Grilling Book
Adam Rapoport explains why it's so important to master the art of grilling--and how to do it (buy the book)
White Bean Tapenade
This textured spread is great served with cured meats. If you wind up with leftovers, use it on sandwiches.
Grilled Saffron Rack of Lamb
In this rack of lamb recipe, the lamb needs to marinate overnight, so be sure to start 1 day ahead. But trust us: It's worth it.
Jeweled Rice
Yes, making this rice is a time commitment and a labor of love. But the ingredients aren't difficult to find, and the finished dish is stunning.
Marinated Summer Vegetables
Adding veggies to the marinade while warm helps them absorb more flavor.
Little Apricot Cakes
As summer progresses and apricots go out of season, try these desserts with ripe plums instead.
Rose Water Shortbread Cookies
Rice flour gives these cookies a very fine texture, an also results in a gluten-free dessert. Letting the dough rest allows the flour to absorb moisture, making it less crumbly and easier to handle.
