Here are a few creative options for a burger, chicken wings, and hot dogs. The hardest part is deciding which to try first!
Burgers
We don't hold any bias towards burgers — they can come in all sorts of forms. Whether it's a classic beef burger, a juicy turkey burger, a hearty bean burger, or even just a thick slice of eggplant grilled and slid on a bun, we'll happily eat it.
Up First: How To Grill Really Juicy Burgers
Ingredients
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Freshly ground pepper
6 thin slices of cheese, such as cheddar, swiss, or American (optional)
6 hamburger buns
Instructions
1. Heat the Grill: Warm your grill to high heat, about 450°F or until you can hold your hand an inch over the grate for only one second. If cooking on a charcoal grill, arrange coals to create a high heat and a low heat cooking zone.
2. Prepare the Ground Beef: While the grill is warming, prepare the burgers. Gently pat the ground beef into a log roughly 2 feet long on a clean baking sheet. Use your thumb to make a deep trough in the center. Sprinkle the onions evenly down the trough. Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder, and sprinkle this over the onions. Finish with a few grinds of fresh black pepper over everything.
3. Shape the Burgers: Pinch ground beef closed around the onions. Divide the meat into 8 portions using a chef knife, a bench scraper, or your fingers. Use your hands to gently flatten each portion into a burger patty about 1-inch thick. Try not to compact or overwork the meat. Let the burgers rest at room temperature until the grill is warm, about 20 minutes.
4. Grill the Burgers: Grill the burgers for 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a lower-heat area of the grill. Cook another 2-3 minutes for medium-rare burgers, 3-4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well-done burgers. In the last minute of cooking, lay a slice of cheese on top of each burger and arrange the buns over high heat to toast.
