BBQ Chicken Pizza
As you know, I’m a massive fan of any pizza recipe. While it’s not “authentic” by any means, BBQ chicken pizza is a classic fusion twist on pizza. My version is reminiscent of the CPK signature BBQ chicken pizza, with mozzarella, smoked gouda, red onion, cilantro, and, of course, saucy BBQ chicken.
Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
This recipe is ALL about the creamy, dreamy peanut sauce! This peanut sauce is so delectable, you could practically eat it with a spoon (not judging). But it’s also perfect for drizzling and/or dunking your chicken or even on a side of rice.
Spicy Hawaiian Hot Dogs
In true Hawaiian food flavor profile fashion, it hits on sweet, savory and spicy notes for the all around perfect bite. Your summer just won’t be complete without adding these to your next BBQ spread!
Miso Ginger Cedar Plank Salmon
The combo of the perfect marinade, buttery salmon and a cedar plank, smoky kiss on the grill is pure perfection. Savory, sweet, tangy and buttery, it hits all the right notes on your palette. This true PNW recipe is one you’ll be making year over year.
Lemony Grilled Zucchini
This recipe is living proof that sometimes seasonal and simple is the only way to go. The key to ensuring perfectly cooked yet not slimy or soggy zucchini in the slightest is actually tossing the zucchini straight on your heat source sans seasonings or oil.
Buttermilk Barbecue Chicken
This is by far the juiciest chicken you’ll ever eat, thanks to a buttermilk bath! This easy recipe comes together low and slow that’s perfect for summer backyard grilling.
Spicy Honey and Lime Corn Salad
I’m a huge fan of this corn salad because it’s so refreshingly different. Grilled corn, a spicy/sweet/zesty vinaigrette, cool and creamy avocado, cilantro and jalapeño make this salad a perfect side dish to enjoy this summer.

I promise this is a recipe you’ll keep coming back to all summer long! Succulent and spicy chicken followed by an even spicier, cool, creamy and zesty green sauce worthy of licking your plate for.
Beer-Braised Brats with Onions and Kraut
Succulent sausages get slow cooked in tangy onions, mustard and kraut and bitter beer for rich, tangy and absolutely perfect beer-drinking food. Take these to your next tailgate party and you'll be the hero of the hour. Promise.
Teriyaki Chicken Burgers
Whenever I’m having a Red Robin craving, you know I’m craving the teriyaki chicken burger. Juicy chicken breast, melty Swiss cheese, caramelized pineapple, crisp lettuce, tomato, a healthy slathering of mayo and salty, sweet teriyaki sauce create the perfect marriage of flavors.
Greek Chicken Pitas
My new favorite meal for hot summer nights is my Greek-inspired chicken pitas. The end product is a colorful, vibrant hand-held meal that's chock full of fresh and light summery flavors.
Jerk Chicken
If you're in the market for anything-but-bland chicken, this jerk chicken is seriously the only way to go. The marinade itself comes together in a matter of minutes from a few zips in the food processor and could be paired with not only chicken, but beef, pork, fish or tofu even.
Grilled Chile Lime Wings
As a tried and true wing lover, I am obsessed with these zesty, smokey grilled chile lime wings. The grill gets the wings not only super crispy as any good wing should be, but smoky and charred from a low and slow cooking process.
Grilled Chicken Banh Mi
My grilled chicken banh mi features a quick, simple marinade that makes for juicy, succulent chicken. A quick pickling method, a bit of homemade spicy mayo, fresh cilantro and a soft hoagie complete the picture!
Grilled Herb Prawns
Simple yet flavorful, these garlic herb prawns on the barbie are such a perfect summer treat. Pair them with a salad or saute of fresh veggies and it's a perfect summer meal for those hot nights when you want to keep it light on the cooking.
Thai Lemongrass Chicken
The marinade alone on this chicken is heavenly; savory, sweet, a tad spicy and full of umami, you could marinate a toe in it and it would taste good (though I'm recommending you go with the boneless chicken thighs).
Spicy Shrimp Skewers
For spice lovers, these smoky, savory and spicy shrimp are for you! Just a whisking together of a handful of everyday ingredients creates for a robust marinade that you'll be coming back to all summer long.
Spicy Lamb Burgers
Upon first bite, you will swear you are eating at a neighborhood bistro! Packed with warm spices, spicy yet cool yogurt sauce and creamy, decadent goat cheese and crisp arugula, all you need is a glass of jammy cab and you're good to go!
