Come summer, I have a few requirements for my meals: they should be light, they should incorporate bold, refreshing flavors, and they should be easy—and if they’re not easy, then the payoff should be worth it! That’s where chicken comes in. It’s a versatile protein that’s easy to load up with all kinds of flavors (lemon! BBQ sauce! Caesar dressing!) and bake, air-fry, grill, or sous vide. Who doesn’t love having options? Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or whipping up a weeknight dinner, these summer chicken recipes are sure to please. And given that it’s already August, you can find me rushing to the kitchen to make as many of them as I can before the season ends.
