Whoever said grilled chicken was boring clearly hasn’t met this sandwich. Chicken breasts are seasoned with za’atar – a bright, savory Middle Eastern spice mix – and grilled to a deep char. Slather it with cooling cucumber yogurt and serve on a toasted bun with a garnish of mint for cookout bliss.

Sticky-salty-sweet with just a little ginger kick, these tender ribs are quite literally finger-licking good. Make sure to plan ahead – marinating for four hours or more is what takes these over the top! Bonus for K-Pop fans: According to Tasty, this dish is a BTS favorite.

Whisk’s taco game is strong, but this one from Delish.com is our pick for hot days. Smoky, lime-marinated shrimp and a quick, spicy slaw sing in grilled tortillas. We like serving with an extra squeeze of lime, cilantro garnish, and cool beverage.
