A backyard BBQ is a great way to enjoy a warm day and relax with the family. Creating a mouthwatering menu on the grill is the most important task. The grill experts from Tradewind Hawaii in Kailua Kona, HI, share some must-have dishes that every BBQ needs.

Delicious Food Options for Your BBQ

1. Hamburgers

No backyard BBQ would be complete without hamburgers. Whether you want to stuff the burgers with bacon and cheese or give them a Cajun twist, there are endless options to try. A vital tip is to not press them while they’re cooking. Instead, let those juices cook inside.

2. Hot Dogs

Hot dogs and sausages are a kid-friendly favorite that are simple and easy to make. Remember that the cook time will be determined by whether the sausages are raw or cured.

3. Cole Slaw

A great cole slaw should be made with hearty cabbage and creamy dressing. Mix up your recipe with tangy mayo dressing or some Asian sauces and spices.

4. Potato Salad

The potato salad is the ideal side to go with hot dogs and burgers. Try baking or roasting the potatoes with thyme or rosemary; this provides a unique flavor that will have guests scooping seconds. 

5. Grilled Corn

There is nothing like perfectly cooked corn from the grill. Add extras like sweet soy glaze or garlic when grilling it to update this classic.
