Summer Grilling Recipes: Burgers, Chicken, and More

Memorial Day until Labor Day is the official fifth season in America known as “Grilling Season.” Parties are planned all summer long around the promise of firing up that grill. Home cooks around the country blissfully ignore their stoves and ovens, preferring to throw a couple of dogs on the grill than turn on that broiler one more time. Debates as to the virtues of gas grilling versus charcoal grills break out at Little League games. Special tools, such as high-tech meat thermometers and special spatulas are procured.

With this in mind, Yahoo Food is here with a host of recipes to cover your ever grilling need. You can use that grill for every part of the meal — not just your steaks. There’s a grilled grapes with Burrata cheese recipe that makes a perfect appetizer ahead of a heavy steak dinner. Grill your guacamole when hosting an outdoor Mexican fiesta. Martha Stewart’s Charred Romaine Salad recipe puts greens on the table, even if they are a little smokey. Next up: main courses. We have everything from a classic ribeye that your grandfather will love to a crowd-pleasing barbecue chicken recipe that will have the neighbors coming back for more. And don’t forget dessert! We have three grilled desserts that will serve as the perfect finish to your meal.
