  Buffalo Chicken Strips with Blue Cheese Dip
  

  Instead of the traditional and now rather expensive chicken wings, I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in my version of this popular snack. It’s best to use natural, high-quality chicken. The  dip can be made up to four days ahead, but definitely start this dish at least a day ahead of time to let the chicken marinate.

  Beer-Brined Butterflied Chicken
  

  This grilled chicken gets its great flavor from a brine made from lager, smoked paprika, cumin, and other spices. Cutting out the chicken's backbone (butterflying) helps it cook more quickly and evenly.

  Oven-Barbecued Memphis Ribs
  

  Too cold to grill outside? Slow roasting in the oven yields a rib that's just as tender and succulent. Rub the ribs with a zesty spice blend, and you'll swear they came from a backyard BBQ pit.
