Tonight's not about opening a pack of chicken breasts and hoping something interesting will happen if you put them in a hot pan. Tonight is about treating poultry right — that means firing up the fryer, getting your grind on, honoring the thigh and getting every piece of meat off that juicy carcass. Here are 7 chicken recipes to keep your bird game fresh.

Grilling Month is in full-swing; however, there's always room for "other stuff." Like caramelized onion butter, which is just about the greatest thing you could drop on a perfectly grilled steak. Or Sunny-Side Nachos, which we ate for breakfast before we grilled meat for Cinco de Mayo tacos. Or bacon-ham collards, which go great with barbecue. Oh, who are we kidding? Give us grilled food or give us death, we perfected two burgers this week ALONE!

We're kicking off Grilling Month 2013 with our very favorite grilled vegetable dishes. Believe us, you'll want these when the steaks, sausages and chops all come marching through the site full-force. There's almost no vegetable that can't be grilled, but before you go looking for one, try your hand at a few of the basics below. You'll be slightly charring all your salads before you know it.
