Tailgate Food

Chicken Wings

Chicken wings are delicious—when done right. True chicken wings should taste like chicken.. Great wings never touch hot oil and the flavoring comes from a marinade that compliments the chicken instead of overpowering it.

Chicken Breasts

Marinade your chicken in a bag of balsamic vinegar, oil, garlic, rosemary, oregano, and pepper at least 30 minutes before throwing it on the grill with some peppers, onions, potatoes, and other veggies.

Steak

We usually like a little more fat on our steaks, but this richly flavored beef try your steak with a blue cheese butter.

Burgers

You're grilling burgers; make them from the best beef. You’ll need season them to your liking. Then, grill them until droplets of blood appear on the raw side, about 3 minutes. Now flip. For medium rare, cook this side about 2 more minutes (or 3 more minutes for medium). Resist the urge to press on the burgers to make them sizzle.

Sausages

Get an assortment of sausages, sweet, spicy, plain and smoked, I bet they will all be gone by the end of your party.

Chilli

For those cold wintery nights a hot chili is the best.

Lamb Chops

They're quick cooking and you can gnaw them right off the bone

Shrimp

A Shrimp tray with a nice dipping sauce is so popular and ready-made from the store.

Shell-on Shrimp

Split the shell down the back, but toss them on the grill with the shell still on. Cook until pink throughout. This will toast the shell and deepen the flavor of the shrimp

Cold Cut Meats

For a quick sandwich cold cut meats such as ham or turkey are always popular with the ladies. Make your own deli sandwiches or subs.

Pickles

Eat these crisp pickles straight out of the jar or pop a few slices atop a grilled chicken sandwich.
