]]> While scrumptious, barbequing can appear challenging to those without experience. Fortunately, even if you are a beginner, there are several scrumptious recipes that you can try that will go a long way to impress your friends.

Chicken Wings

A bar classic, chicken wings are relatively easy to prepare. All you need is to buy uncooked chicken wings, coat them in barbeque sauce or marinade, and cook them until they are ready to serve.

Hamburgers

Yet another simple dish, all you need is to spice your burger patties with your seasoning of choice and throw in on the grid. Consider using a meat thermometer to ensure that you cook them to the right extent.

Ribs

While they may seem complicated, ribs are relatively easy to cook. All you have to do is ensure that you baste them with the right marinade and give them time to soak in the sauce before throwing them on the grill.

]]> Cooking meat over fire is a tradition found in many cultures, and the US is no exception. The Southern states in particular are associated with their long-standing barbecue culture. As straightforward as it may seem, the way the meat is prepared does vary from place to place. Here are a few distinct barbecue traditions and their defining characteristics.

Memphis

Barbecue in Memphis primarily refers to pork. The city is known for its ribs, which can be divided into “dry” and “wet” versions. Wet ribs are basted in a tomato-based sauce before, during, and after cooking, while dry-rubbed ribs are covered with a blend of spices and herbs, smoked, and served with sauce on the side.

Texas

Texas barbecue is all about beef, but it’s perhaps most famous for brisket smoked over oak and served without sauce, either in slices or on a sandwich. In South Texas, you’ll find more mesquite-smoked barbecue, and the Eastern part of the state is known for its chopped pork and beef sandwich.

Kansas City

In Kansas City, you’ll find melded traditions from the Carolinas, Memphis, and Texas. But it is also the birthplace of one special barbecue dish: the burnt ends. Those are the point ends of the brisket that have been double smoked, yielding a caramelized crisp exterior and richly flavored interior.

]]> BBQ parties are one of the most fun and delicious ways to spend time with your friends and family during hot summer days. Skewers are one of the foods that no barbecue can go without, and preparing this dish starts with choosing between wooden and metal skewers.

Wooden Skewers

Usually made with bamboo, wooden skewers are a popular option due to their low price tag and most people opt for them when planning a last-minute BBQ party. The tricky thing about them is that you can’t reuse them again and that you have to be pretty careful along the way.

These skewers are made of wood, so they could easily catch fire and scorch your food if you’re not cautious enough. Make sure to soak them in cold water for at least half an hour before getting ready to grill your meats and veggies.

Metal Skewers

Metal skewers may be a little bit more expensive than the wooden variety, but they’re a pretty good investment. If BBQ parties are pretty frequent in your household, they definitely won’t go to waste.

Usually made from stainless steel, metal skewers have a longer life span than wooden ones. You don’t have to worry about soaking them in water so they wouldn’t burn, but it’s recommended to spray them with some cooking oil so the food wouldn’t stick to the skewers.

But sometimes the sides get lost along the way and they don’t get the attention they deserve. These three are sure to please your friends and family this year and they’re elevated takes on barbecue staples.

Bang Bang Corn

Instead of just grilling corn, which has been done way too many times, give it a sweet and spicy sauce that will give it a kick. This Bang Bang Corn is loaded with flavor from the butter, sweet chili sauce, garlic, and sriracha.

Bruschetta Pasta Salad

Pasta salad is at every barbecue and this one screams summer with fresh vegetables and herbs like tomatoes, red onions, basil, garlic, and green onions, and a healthy dose of Parmesan cheese. It’s the tastiest way to get your serving of vegetables.

Classic Potato Salad

No barbecue is complete without potato salad which has mayonnaise, potatoes, mustard, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs. The secret to an amazing one starts with cooking the potatoes just right. We’ve tried a ton of recipes and this one is a favorite!

Meats are generally the star of these grilled meat occasions, but there are also a number of side dishes that are commonly seen as accompaniments to pork, beef, and chicken. If you want to make your own American BBQ at home, don’t forget to make these sides!

Macaroni and Cheese

Mac and cheese is a classic side that you will find alongside barbecue all around the country. Made by combining noodles, butter, and cheese, this is a choice that is popular with everyone at the table.

Cornbread

Serving a barbecue without cornbread sure would be strange. Made with cornmeal and resulting in a sweeter end product than typical bread or bread rolls, cornbread is especially common to find at barbecues in the American South.

Collard Greens

Another favorite from the American south is collard greens, a great option for putting a little bit of green on the table alongside the meats and carbohydrates. Made by boiling a green with spices and bacon in chicken broth, this dish isn’t hard to make and it’s packed with tons of flavor.

There are a few dishes that are emblematic of Hawaiian BBQ, and if you are looking to get a start on trying the best dishes this cuisine has to offer, be sure to give these three a try!

Kalua Pork

Shredded, slow-cooked pork is a staple in several cultures, and Hawaiian BBQ’s own version is also super tasty. An underground oven is used to smoke a pig with banana leaves and sea salt and is then shredded and served as the main protein in a meal.

Loco Moco

Loco Moco is a uniquely Hawaiian invention and serves its purpose as an inexpensive, delicious, and filling meal. Take white rice and top it with hamburger steak, brown gravy, and a fried egg and you have a classic dish that you will love.

Spam Musubi

Spam became popular in Hawaii after World War II and the state’s love for this unique canned pork lives on in the modern age as spam musubi. Similar in appearance to sushi, the spam is cooked with soy sauce and then wrapped with seaweed on top of a block of white sushi rice.

There are many different kinds of hot dogs, and believe it or not they all include something else. The original hot dogs include a mix of beef and pork, are enclosed in a bun and topped with ketchup, mustard or relish.

While hot dogs may be a favourite when it comes to barbecue, it is far from the healthiest addition to your diet. They are highly processed meat and filled with with potential harmful chemicals, such as nitrates. A few dangerous cases have occurred with hot dogs the last few years, such as the presence of tiny shards of metal found in the packaging, listeria contamination and bone fragments found in the hot dog that can cause minor injuries.

However, if you have a true love for hot dogs and can’t imagine sitting through a game without, there are some alternatives that will make your hot dog healthier. Look for ‘all-meat’ and ‘nitrite-free’ hot dogs.
