Father’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show Dad just how much he means to you- and what better way to celebrate than with a mouthwatering backyard barbecue? We’re sharing our favorite Father’s Day recipes to honor the “king of the grill” while giving him a well-deserved break to enjoy the festivities.

Simple Secrets to Great Grilling

• Preheat the grill for 10-15 minutes before cooking to ensure a proper sear and prevent sticking.
• Trim excess fat from meats and remove poultry skin to minimize flare-ups and reduce unhealthy fats.
• For veggies, cut them into even pieces for uniform cooking, and use a grilling basket to keep smaller pieces from falling through the grates.
• Sear meats to lock in their natural juices and keep them moist.
• Lower the grill’s heat to avoid burning the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn food, preserving its natural juices, and flip only once.
• Apply sauces and glazes during the final minutes of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.
• Invest in an instant-read thermometer for the most accurate way to check doneness.
• Let grilled meats rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicier bite.

Cheers to Dad!
