Not all of them are BBQ recipes, either – there's plenty of juicy and simple chicken dishes that are suitable for the summer which won't require you to light up a grill.

Chicken Thigh Or Leg Dishes

The chicken thigh is kind of like the ribeye of the chicken – it’s the juiciest, most flavourful cut and a welcome addition to any barbecue or summer spread. Try marinating your chicken thighs in herbs and spices for a wallop of satisfaction.

Barbecue Summer Chicken Recipes

Not everyone enjoys cooking over live fire but if you’re a fan of barbecues (and fancy yourself a bit of a BBQ expert) then you should definitely consider making one of these summer chicken dishes. All of them are designed to go on the barbecue.
