July is a time of celebration, and barbecuing is the perfect way to share it with friends and family. But what meats should you cook? What vegetables should you put on the grill? To help you decide what to barbeque in July, we’ve gathered some of our favorite recipes below.
Chicken
Chicken is a great choice for barbecuing. It's easy to cook and has a nice, sweet flavor that goes well with barbecue sauce. It is also a versatile meat – you can grill it whole or cut it into pieces. It's one of the most common meats served at barbecues, so if you're having friends over, they'll probably expect to eat some chicken. It's also a healthy option because it's relatively low in fat and high in protein, which is good for keeping your body strong and healthy.
Grilled tandoori chicken - This is a classic Indian dish that's made with chicken, yogurt, and spices. It's usually served with naan bread and cucumber raita. The chicken is marinated overnight in a mixture of yogurt, garlic, ginger, chili powder, and garam masala before being grilled on skewers over hot coals until it browns.
Grilled chicken with chimichurri - This is a dish that's getting popular all over the country. It's made with chopped parsley, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, which gives the chicken a tangy flavor. The chimichurri sauce is usually served on top of grilled chicken breast fillets, but you can also use it to marinate chicken thighs before grilling them.
Spicy barbecue chicken - This dish is similar to the barbecue chicken you find at many fast-food restaurants, but it has a kick of spice. It's made with grilled chicken that's been marinated in a mixture of ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and chili powder before being served on buns with coleslaw and pickles.
Lamb
Lamb is a very popular meat for barbecues and is cooked in numerous ways. You can cook lamb on the bone, boneless or skewered. When barbecuing lamb on the bone it's important to use a low temperature so you don't dry out the meat - you want it to stay juicy!
