[List of Easy Barbecue Recipes and Side Dishes](https://parade.com/1042615/denisebrowning/best-bbq-menu-ideas/#list-of-easy-barbecue-recipes-and-side-dishes) ## What to Bring to a BBQ Before you get overwhelmed trying to make as many dishes as you can, first plan ahead and make a single trip to your grocery store to get all the items for your **BBQ menu ideas**. Some must-have ingredients include store-bought chips, [dips](https://parade.com/848712/carlacardello/18-touchdown-worthy-tailgating-dips-that-arent-buffalo-chicken-dip/) and fruit platters, homemade barbecue sauce and, of course, meats and fish to grill, such as [pork](https://parade.com/1066391/parade/pork-recipes/) ribs, sausage, [shrimp](https://parade.com/1325505/parade/shrimp-recipes/), salmon, beef spare ribs and chicken drumsticks. 😋😋 **[SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Parade Eats newsletter](https://parade.com/newsletters/pop-kitchen?utm_source=article&utm_medium=middle).** 🍳🍔 ## Best Vegetarian BBQ Food Ideas For a vegetarian menu, seasonal vegetables, [pineapple](https://parade.com/health/what-happens-if-you-eat-pineapple-every-day), [watermelon](https://parade.com/food/best-watermelon-picking-dot-trick-tiktok), grilling cheeses, [pound cake](https://parade.com/food/martha-stewart-whole-lemon-pound-cake-review) and bread are just the ticket. **Related: [How Much Potato Salad Do You Need Per Person for Your BBQ?](https://parade.com/843636/tessmelchreit/how-much-potato-salad-per-guest-do-you-need-for-your-bbq/)** ## Best BBQ Menu Desserts and Drinks But no barbecue party is complete without summer desserts. And above all, summer temps call for a refreshing drink such as a fruity lemonade or a Brazilian limeade that you can make in the blender and requires no peeling or simple syrup. ## Best BBQ Menu Ideas and Side Barbecue Dishes Most of these barbecue recipes are easy to prepare—meaning they require less than 10 ingredients. Some of our main dishes are cooked entirely on the grill, such as the Red Wine Barbecue Pork Ribs and the Grilled Chicken Legs Wrapped in Bacon. In contrast, others, such as our Char Siu, are partially cooked in the [slow cooker](https://parade.com/954875/parade/crock-pot-recipes/) or pressure cooker and then finished either on the grill or in the oven. If you feel like cooking some of your mains ahead of time in the oven, such as our Brazilian Pork Ribs, go for it! It will free up your grill for cooking other meats and vegetables on the BBQ day. The same applies to your side dishes. Make-ahead side dishes such as a hearty potato salad or homemade coleslaw are always a good call. Try all of these 33 best BBQ menu ideas for those last summer get-togethers of the season\! **Related: [Healthy BBQ Party Side Dishes](https://parade.com/847788/brendabennett/27-healthy-bbq-party-side-dishes/)** ## List of Easy Barbecue Recipes and Side Dishes ### Beef BBQ Sandwich ![BBQ beef sandwich](https://parade.com/.image/MTkwNTgxMjIwMDE4ODI1MDg0/Beef%20BBQ%20Sandwich.jpg?io=1&profile=w2560) Lisa Cohen This Beef BBQ Sandwich is sure to be a hit at any party\! **Get the Recipe: [Beef BBQ Sandwich](https://parade.com/65133/devinalexander/beef-bbq-sandwich/)** ### Juicy BBQ Chicken ![BBQ chicken wings on plate](https://parade.com/.image/MTkxNDU0MTIwMDQzODgyMDgy/juicy%20bbq%20chicken.webp?io=1&profile=w2560) Parade There’s nothing better than juicy, tangy, smoky barbecued chicken—especially at summer cookouts\! **Get the recipe: [Juicy BBQ Chicken](https://parade.com/1391573/parade/bbq-chicken-recipe/)** ### BBQ Dry Rub ![seasoning mix in spoon](https://parade.com/.image/MTkxNDU0MTcyMzg4Nzk2MDAy/bbq%20dry%20rub.webp?io=1&profile=w2560) Parade This simple spice mix can be used on beef, chicken or seafood

Backyard barbecue season is one much welcomed after a seemingly never-ending winter. Spring and [summer](https://parade.com/1384036/felicialim/healthy-summer-recipes/) bring better weather and more time outdoors, meaning [parties, potlucks and BBQs galore](https://parade.com/1043907/kristamarshall/best-bbq-potluck-ideas/). None would be complete without food, which is why we’re here to help you plan the **perfect [barbecue](https://parade.com/845440/brianneizzo/12-recipes-slathered-with-barbecue-sauce/) menu**. Related: **[I Tried 15 Different BBQ Sauces, and I Didn’t See the Winner Coming](https://parade.com/food/best-bbq-sauce)** ## Table of Contents 1.

[List of Easy Barbecue Recipes and Side Dishes](https://parade.com/1042615/denisebrowning/best-bbq-menu-ideas/#list-of-easy-barbecue-recipes-and-side-dishes) ## What to Bring to a BBQ Before you get overwhelmed trying to make as many dishes as you can, first plan ahead and make a single trip to your grocery store to get all the items for your **BBQ menu ideas**. Some must-have ingredients include store-bought chips, [dips](https://parade.com/848712/carlacardello/18-touchdown-worthy-tailgating-dips-that-arent-buffalo-chicken-dip/) and fruit platters, homemade barbecue sauce and, of course, meats and fish to grill, such as [pork](https://parade.com/1066391/parade/pork-recipes/) ribs, sausage, [shrimp](https://parade.com/1325505/parade/shrimp-recipes/), salmon, beef spare ribs and chicken drumsticks. 😋😋 **[SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Parade Eats newsletter](https://parade.com/newsletters/pop-kitchen?utm_source=article&utm_medium=middle).** 🍳🍔 ## Best Vegetarian BBQ Food Ideas For a vegetarian menu, seasonal vegetables, [pineapple](https://parade.com/health/what-happens-if-you-eat-pineapple-every-day), [watermelon](https://parade.com/food/best-watermelon-picking-dot-trick-tiktok), grilling cheeses, [pound cake](https://parade.com/food/martha-stewart-whole-lemon-pound-cake-review) and bread are just the ticket. **Related: [How Much Potato Salad Do You Need Per Person for Your BBQ?](https://parade.com/843636/tessmelchreit/how-much-potato-salad-per-guest-do-you-need-for-your-bbq/)** ## Best BBQ Menu Desserts and Drinks But no barbecue party is complete without summer desserts. And above all, summer temps call for a refreshing drink such as a fruity lemonade or a Brazilian limeade that you can make in the blender and requires no peeling or simple syrup. ## Best BBQ Menu Ideas and Side Barbecue Dishes Most of these barbecue recipes are easy to prepare—meaning they require less than 10 ingredients. Some of our main dishes are cooked entirely on the grill, such as the Red Wine Barbecue Pork Ribs and the Grilled Chicken Legs Wrapped in Bacon. In contrast, others, such as our Char Siu, are partially cooked in the [slow cooker](https://parade.com/954875/parade/crock-pot-recipes/) or pressure cooker and then finished either on the grill or in the oven. If you feel like cooking some of your mains ahead of time in the oven, such as our Brazilian Pork Ribs, go for it! It will free up your grill for cooking other meats and vegetables on the BBQ day. The same applies to your side dishes. Make-ahead side dishes such as a hearty potato salad or homemade coleslaw are always a good call. Try all of these 33 best BBQ menu ideas for those last summer get-togethers of the season\! **Related: [Healthy BBQ Party Side Dishes](https://parade.com/847788/brendabennett/27-healthy-bbq-party-side-dishes/)** ## List of Easy Barbecue Recipes and Side Dishes ### Beef BBQ Sandwich ![BBQ beef sandwich](https://parade.com/.image/MTkwNTgxMjIwMDE4ODI1MDg0/Beef%20BBQ%20Sandwich.jpg?io=1&profile=w2560) Lisa Cohen This Beef BBQ Sandwich is sure to be a hit at any party\! **Get the Recipe: [Beef BBQ Sandwich](https://parade.com/65133/devinalexander/beef-bbq-sandwich/)** ### Juicy BBQ Chicken ![BBQ chicken wings on plate](https://parade.com/.image/MTkxNDU0MTIwMDQzODgyMDgy/juicy%20bbq%20chicken.webp?io=1&profile=w2560) Parade There’s nothing better than juicy, tangy, smoky barbecued chicken—especially at summer cookouts\! **Get the recipe: [Juicy BBQ Chicken](https://parade.com/1391573/parade/bbq-chicken-recipe/)** ### BBQ Dry Rub ![seasoning mix in spoon](https://parade.com/.image/MTkxNDU0MTcyMzg4Nzk2MDAy/bbq%20dry%20rub.webp?io=1&profile=w2560) Parade This simple spice mix can be used on beef, chicken or seafood
