Memorial Day weekend is just a few days away, and there’s only one thing on our minds. It’s about eating grilled food. Food blogger, cookbook author, and cooking enthusiast Gabby Dalkin joins her TODAY Food team to share some of her best grilling recipes from her new cookbook, What’s Gaby Cooking: Grilling All the Things share. She shows you how to make grilled chicken wings with spicy chili vinaigrette, charred sweet corn pasta salad, smoky grilled Caesar salad, smashed cheeseburgers with butter, and homemade pickles and special sauces.

I feel the same way about chicken wings as I do about ribs. No matter how much you eat, it’s never enough. It’s not a party unless everyone’s face is covered in sauce. If we don’t polish off every last bit of flesh, we might reconsider our friendship. When it comes to my favorite cooking methods, grilling is at the top of my list. You’ll get perfectly crispy, flavorful wings without having to worry about oil splatters. Add this versatile spicy Calabrian vinaigrette to your dunks and you’re done.
When corn is in season, you better believe it’s in almost every dish I make. Because there’s nothing like sunny sweetness. If we’re talking about summer vegetables, it’s only natural to talk about grilling. When corn is thrown on the grill, its natural sugars caramelize, adding a smoky, sweet flavor to this hearty pasta salad.
If you like creamy Caesar, upping the ante with grilled lettuce is a great idea. That subtle char siew is a total game changer. Add a smoky flavor to this classic salad.
This is basically a classic cookout burger made in your backyard. Except they use juice-filled ingredients instead of overcooked, dry patties. Are you grating butter onto the ground beef to make the patties? I’m sure so. And I’ve never had more regrets in my life. It’s salty and greasy, and I love it with all my heart. Get ready. This is decadence gone too far.
