Grilled Peruvian Chicken Recipe With Green Sauce
Peruvian chicken, or pollo alla brasa, gets its bold flavor and vibrant color from two sauces: a garlicky, spiced, brick-red marinade and a creamy, herbaceous green sauce for drizzling and dipping. While traditional recipes call for a whole chicken or skin-on, bone-in parts, this easy, weeknight-friendly recipe prioritizes speed and ease with skinless, boneless chicken breasts. You'll have leftover green sauce that you can use on roasted vegetables, pork, fish, or even drizzled on a grain bowl.

Grilled Leg of Lamb With Garlic and Lemon
A lemony Greek-inspired marinade brightens this crowd-pleasing (and mostly hands-off) dinner. No one needs to know how little time you spent actually cooking this grilled leg of lamb recipe. The lamb can be prepped and dropped into the zesty Greek-inspired marinade up to 24 hours before you plan to cook it. And you can customize the marinade pretty much any way you like. Serve with Greek-style lemon potatoes and a green salad, plus lightly chilled red wine or verjus for the ultimate dinner.

Eggplant Tikkas in Creamy Yogurt, Mustard, Chile, and Ginger
For these eggplant tikkas, eggplant and onion pieces are marinated in a spiced, creamy yogurt before being broiled or grilled. Eggplant retains its shape when broiled, but it can dry out and so basting the kebabs with butter is essential to retain moisture. The best way to amplify flavor in this kebab is to divide the marinade and the reserved half to coat the chunks of eggplant and onion once cooked; this way the aroma and taste from the creamy yogurt marinade remain intact.

Ton Negima (Grilled Pork Belly and Scallion Skewers)
In some parts of Japan, yakiton (skewered, grilled pork) is even more popular than grilled chicken. Yakiton joints grill every part of the pig, and we mean every part—cheek, jowl, brain, guts, some 20 different parts. Assuming your local supermarket doesn’t carry nodo, here's another kind of yakiton, the iconic and hugely popular ton negima, grilled pork belly and scallion.

Negima (Grilled Chicken Skewers With Green Onion)
Negima is one of the most popular yakitori dishes: pieces of chicken thigh or breast are placed alternately on a skewer with sections of long green onion or scallion. The meat and scallion are simply salted or are dipped in a basting sauce—tare—during the grilling. This tare, made with chicken wings, is particularly thick and flavorful, with a slight smoky flavor and nice glossy richness.

Khao Niao Ping Sai Kluai (Grilled Sweet Sticky Rice With Banana Filling)
These delicious packets conceal warm, slightly sweet sticky rice richly perfumed with the smokiness of the charred wrapper and with a piece of soft, gooey nam wa banana at the center. It's an excellent and fragrant grilled dessert.

Yardbird’s Green Miso Chicken Breast Skewers
The inspiration for these grilled green miso chicken breast skewers came from the tried-and-true recipe of grilled pesto chicken. Rather than Parmesan, though, we use miso. The longer you marinate the chicken, the deeper the flavor will be, but since we are butchering and using the same chicken on the day, ours is marinated for only about an hour.
