One of the best parts about spring (other than the beautiful weather, of course) is dusting off the grill and cooking up delicious mouth-watering meals outdoors. BBQ’s are the single most popular way to prepare a meal in the spring and summer months and there are many reasons why. Not only is it a no-fuss way to whip up a meal but the food you cook on the grill tastes delicious every time.
If you’re looking for unique meals for the BBQ, consider grilling up one of these fabulous meals this season:

4. Teriyaki BBQ Ribs
If you’re a fan of “regular” BBQ Pork Ribs then you’ll want to give these teriyaki ribs a try. They’re an interesting alternative to the regular routine and provide an Asian inspiration to your next meal. Soaked in a teriyaki marinade then on to the grill where they’re basted in that familiar japanese sweet ginger teriyaki sauce.
5. Chicken on a Stick
Chicken is a popular choice among many families when it comes to grilling and these delicious and healthy chicken kabobs packed with vegetables are a great weeknight meal idea. You can use a different vegetables and mix them up each time you make them to add a little variety.
6. The King of Steaks
The rib steak is called the King of Steaks for very good reason. A rib steak with the bone-in has just the right amount of marbling (fatty streaks throughout the meat) to keep it juicy and full-flavored from the grill to your plate. It’s from the short loin next to the rib so it’s also a very tender cut of meat. Ask your butcher to cut you a rib steak (bone-in) at least 1″ thick. A very light rub with olive oil, crushed black pepper and kosher salt and it’s ready for the grill.
7. Grilled Jerk Chicken
If you’ve been to Jamaica (and if you haven’t, you should go!) you’re likely familiar with this classic dish that you’ll crave as much as we do. This is an easy recipe for grilled jerk chicken that you’ll want to make over and over again. Enjoy, mon!
