Our favorite spot is behind the charcoal grill when the weather starts to warm up. Cooking for a crowd can be stressful, but grilling recipes allow for a more casual and interactive menu approach to the dinner party. When it comes to cookouts, Southerners do them best. These quick and easy grilling recipes will impress your guests from  Memorial Day  to  Labor Day . You can even build a whole meal from the grill. 01 of 40 All-Purpose Garlic Marinade Credit: Fred Hardy II; Food Stylist: Sally McKay; Prop Stylist: Prissy Montiel Before you fire up the grill, give your proteins and veggies time in this bold, herb-packed garlic marinade. With fresh herbs, Calabrian chiles, and a vinaigrette base, it's a secret weapon for infusing every bite with a rich, smoky depth—no matter what you're cooking. 02 of 40 Grilled Mississippi Chicken Sandwiches Credit: Greg DuPree; Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Stylist: Prissy Lee Montiel Marinate the chicken for these sandwiches the night before for less prep the day of the cookout. Made with a packet of ranch dressing mix, onion soup mix, and pepperoncinis and their juice, this chicken has the flavor of Mississippi pot roast in a convenient picnic form. 03 of 40 Tennessee Onion Burgers Credit: Greg DuPree; Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Stylist: Prissy Lee Montiel These grilled burgers are sure to be the star of the cookout thanks to a sweet, buttery onion topping. Serve the Tennessee Onions casserole as a side, and encourage guests to use them as a burger topping. 04 of 40 Grilled Deviled Eggs Credit: Greg DuPree; Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Stylist: Prissy Lee Montiel Grilling deviled eggs may not be traditional, but the smoky flavor will make this a cookout standout. Brush the egg whites with olive oil before grilling so they'll easily release, then add the classic filling. 05 of 40 Grilled Chicken Sandwiches Credit: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Similar to the chicken from one of your favorite fast food joints, this tender grilled chicken breast is marinated in pickle juice for extra flavor. A dollop of pimiento cheese is just right on top. 06 of 40 Alabama Hot Dogs Credit: Victor Protasio; Food Stylist: Torie Cox; Prop Stylist: Prissy Lee Montiel These may just be the best grilled hot dogs you've ever tasted. Thanks to a white sauce and pickle relish, you'll want to make these on repeat all summer. 07 of 40 Grilled Zucchini Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox This fresh summer side is quick, easy, and pretty. A sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs make for a photo finish. 08 of 40 Grilled Flank Steak Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Styling: Torie Cox Flank steak is a more budget-friendly cut of beef than many at the store, but the perfect grill temperature and a drizzle of homemade chimichurri make it restaurant-worthy. 09 of 40 Ultimate Southern Burgers Credit: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Julian Hensarling, Prop Stylist: Josh Hoggle Loaded with bacon, cheese, and enough condiments to please, this larger-than-life burger will be the king of your cookout. 10 of 40 Grilled Peach-And-Arugula Salad With Feta Credit: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Caramelized peaches are the perfect compliment to the peppery arugula, salty feta, and honey-mustard vinaigrette in this summer salad. 11 of 40 Spicy Grilled Chicken Breasts Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey, Prop Stylist: Claire Spollen Transform this classic grilled chicken recipe into something new each time you make it by alternating between the three sauce toppings: Nashville-Style Hot Sauce, Spicy-Ginger Garlic Sauce, or Sweet Heat Brown Sugar Sauce. Ensure your grilled chicken is juicy and flavorful by starting with a brine, sealing in the meat's moisture. 12 of 40 Spice-Rubbed Flank Steak With Corn-Chile Relish Credit: James Ransom, Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley Serve this steak as is, or turn it into tacos alongside a spread of fresh toppings like avocado, cotija cheese, and pickled red onions. 13 of 40 Lamb Burgers With Feta And Dijonnaise Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox These lamb burgers will impress any cookout crowd. What makes this standout from all the other grilled meats is the dijonnaise sauce that is equally creamy and tangy. You might just end up dipping your sides in it, too. 14 of 40 Grilled Bananas Credit: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Think of this recipe like an easy grilled version of bananas foster . Serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream is mandatory. 15 of 40 Pepper-Stuffed Grilled Flank Steak Credit: James Ransom, Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley This impressive rolled and grilled flank steak is deceptively easy to pull off. While we use provolone, feel free to swap out the cheese in the filling for your favorite melty variety. 16 of 40 Grilled Chicken Legs Credit: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Pickle brine is the secret to the tangy white barbecue sauce we top these tender grilled leg quarters in. We're partial to Wickles Pickles, but your favorite brand will work too. 17 of 40 Chile-Lime Steak Skewers With Coconut-Cilantro Sauce Credit: James Ransom, Food Stylist: Chelsea Zimmer, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley Try this fun spin on steak kebabs this grilling season. The zippy Fresno chile-infused marinade is tempered by the cooling, herby coconut sauce served alongside. 18 of 40 Bourbon- And Cola-Glazed Steak Kebabs Credit: Victor Protasio; Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn; Prop Stylist: Christine Keely We use two Southern beverages to infuse loads of flavor into these simple steak kebabs. 19 of 40 Grilled Baby Eggplants With Tomato-Corn Relish Credit: Fred Hardy II, Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley The tomato-corn relish is our favorite part of this recipe, and it's a versatile topping for all sorts of grilled items, from steak to fish. 21 of 40 Grilled Cowboy Steak Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Fire up the grill for this gigantic slab of meat. The steak itself has plenty of flavor, so you only need a small sprinkle of seasonings to assist its natural taste. When the meat is done, don't turn off the grill. Instead, use the heat to cook up sides like broccolini spears or baby potatoes that taste even better next to this steak. 22 of 40 Grilled Shrimp Lettuce Wraps Credit: Greg DuPree; Food Styling: Rishon Hanners; Prop Styling: Kathleen Varner Healthy in a hurry is possible with this 20-minute lettuce wrap recipe. Lightly charred shrimp on the grill adds a smoky flavoring to the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and rice vinegar marinade. Toss the shrimp into a lettuce wrap and enjoy a vegetable-filled dish. 23 of 40 Poblano Smash Burgers Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox This spiced-up smash burger swapped thinly sliced onions for poblano peppers. Our quick special sauce adds even more heat. 24 of 40 Grilled Grouper Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Julia Bayless Enjoy restaurant-quality fish without leaving home with this simple yet delicious recipe. The short ingredient list makes this dish easy enough for a weekday dinner. Try to purchase the fish with the skin removed to help it come together even more quickly. 25 of 40 Cast-Iron Cowboy Steak Credit: Hector Sanchez This thick, bone-in steak will be the centerpiece of your barbecue. Cooking it in a cast iron skillet on the grill helps the steak gain even exposure to heat and a perfect crust. After grilling, let the steak sit on a platter for 5 to 10 minutes. 26 of 40 Chicken Under a Brick Credit: Robby Lozano; Food Stylist: Sally McKay; Prop Stylist: Priscilla Montiel Cooking the chicken "under a brick," a technique that involves pushing the chicken flat against the hot grill, will cut your cooking time in half. This chicken pairs well with potatoes and charred lemon. 27 of 40 Greek Grilled Chicken Pita Credit: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Before throwing them on the grill, let the chicken breasts for these wraps chill overnight in a marinade of olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt, and pepper. After grilling, top the chicken with lemon juice and toss it in a pita with tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onion.  28 of 40 Classic Grilled Corn on the Cob Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze; Food Stylist: Margaret Monroe Dickey; Prop Stylist: Christina Daley No barbecue is complete without grilled corn on the cob. Upgrade yours with our homemade toppings, including Basil Butter with Parmesan, Bacon with Ranch Drizzle, Honey-Chipotle Glaze, or Smoky Barbecue Rub. 29 of 40 Grilled Peaches with Spiced Whipped Cream Credit: Photo: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Barbecue and peach season always line up perfectly, but rarely do we think to put the sweet, fresh fruit on the grill. Brush your peaches with olive oil and give them a sprinkle of salt before you place them on the grill flesh side down. 30 of 40 Grilled Watermelon Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Watch your grill do wonders with your watermelon thanks to this easy recipe. Sprinkle with sugar and salt and watch as summer's favorite snack transforms into to something rave-worthy. 31 of 40 Grilled BBQ Chicken Credit: Caitlin Bensel, Food Stylist: Torie Cox Low and slow: That's the secret to making a great grilled chicken. The chicken starts in a dry rub, chilling for 8-12 hours. Next, let the chicken rest just before you put it on the grill. 32 of 40 Grilled Potatoes Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Margaret Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley Every Southerner knows that potatoes are the ultimate side dish, but Grilled Potatoes are the perfect compliment to classic cookout fare. In this recipe, you'll cover the potatoes in a rich butter sauce that you'll want to lather on everything. 33 of 40 Easy Grilled Shrimp Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Margaret Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley Fresh, not frozen, shrimp is a necessity for this easy, garlicky grilled shrimp recipe. Serve the shrimp in tortillas or mix in with a few veggies. 34 of 40 Grilled Corn Salad Credit: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Margaret Dickey, Prop Stylist: Christina Daley Salads as simple and refreshing as our Grilled Corn Salad are hard to come by. To ensure the most flavorful, charbroiled flavor, do not boil the corn! 35 of 40 Sweet-And-Smoky Grilled Pork Tenderloins Credit: Victor Protasio; Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn; Prop Stylist: Christine Keely A brown sugar rub transforms the everyday pork tenderloin into a caramelized, rich main. No searing before hitting the grill or wrapping in aluminum foil is needed here. 36 of 40 Grilled Asparagus Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Only four ingredients are required for this simple side. Make sure to grill your asparagus right before you're ready to eat since it has such a quick grill time. 37 of 40 Grilled Pork Chops Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Stylist: Torie Cox Take a break from pan searing pork chops and fire up the grill. Don't rush the marinating, it's the key to both full flavor and beautiful caramelization. 38 of 40 Charred-Vegetable Guacamole Credit: Victor Protasio, Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn, Prop Stylist: Shell Royster Get your guacamole game to restaurant-quality level with this veggie-filled version. When jalapeños are grilled, they lend a smoother, less intense heat that brings more depth to the dish. 39 of 40 Key West Chicken Credit: Will Dickey Infuse chicken breasts with the sunny flavors of South Florida with this easy grilling recipe. Orange and lime juice in the marinade add tang, while honey adds a touch of sweetness. 40 of 40 Sticky-Sweet Korean Barbecue Ribs Credit: Greg DuPree; Food Styling: Rishon Hanners; Prop Styling: Claire Spollen A 5-ingredient barbecue sauce transforms baby back ribs into a delectable main dish filled with bold flavors in this recipe.
