12 ways with grilled chicken

Spice-Rubbed Smoke-Roasted Chicken

Tequila, orange juice, lime juice, and chipotle peppers add kick to this Mexican outdoor dinner party favorite.

Wine-Brined Grilled Chicken
Dry white wine is the key to the delicate flavor achieved in this simple recipe.

Chicken Piri-Piri
This Sunset favorite is based on a spicy grilled Portuguese dish, piri-piri is a small hot chili. Traditionally, piri-piri includes a splash of lemon and a hint of garlic with its roundup of herbs and spices; we're more generous with both in our version.

Grilled Chicken and Nectarine Salad
The combination of barbecued chicken, sweet nectarines, tangy goat cheese, and toasted pecans makes for a great and speedy entrée salad.

Grilled Chipotle-Chicken Quesadillas
Stuff your quesadillas with sour cream, spicy chipotles, and grilled chicken, and you'll have a new family favorite. Grilling adds a mildly smoky note, the perfect complement to big flavors like lime, cilantro, and chile.
