Happy Birthday, America! It’s officially time to kick off that 4th of July party! While we love grilling all summer long, the 4th is the one day of the year when you just absolutely have to get outside and fire that thing up.
Whether you’re heading out to a campground or just hanging out in the back yard, there’s no better way to celebrate America’s birthday than by grilling your favorite meals and sharing beverages with family and friends.
To help you sort out any last-minute changes to your menu, we’ve put together a few of our favorite recipes, including chicken and ribs, sides and a watermelon margarita. So brush up on your grilling skills and get ready!
