11 Standout Chicken Dishes for Summer from Guy Fieri

Guy Fieri’s taking us on a trip to Flavortown, and this time it’s not on the road with Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Instead, the feast of flavor is happening right at home. He’s known for bringing over-the-top bold flavors to any dish he makes, and the everyday chicken dinner is no exception. Follow his lead and amp up the flavor at your next get-together with one of his fan-favorite chicken recipes.

Smoky Grilled Chicken Wings with Pickled Red Chiles, Dates and Fresh Mint (pictured above)
It takes just three ingredients — rice wine vinegar, sugar and soy sauce — to pickle the chiles and dates that give these wings bold layers of flavor.

Big Bud’s Beer Can Chicken
Not just for grilling, beer can chicken works well in the oven, too. Roast the bird with a half-full beer can inside of it to flavor the meat from the inside out and keep it super moist. Guy uses a dry rub and sliced bacon on the outside to transform the skin.

Couscous-Stuffed Chicken Breast with Feta, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Kalamata Olives
Guy makes a pocket in chicken breasts to stuff the meat with his cheesy couscous mixture featuring briny Kalamata olives and sweet sun-dried tomatoes. Bonus: By cooking the couscous in chicken broth instead of water, he guarantees an added layer of flavor in each bite.

Dirty P’s Garlic-Ginger Chicken Thighs
A fuss-free ginger-soy sauce marinade is all you need to pack tons of flavor into this light recipe from Food Network Magazine.

Chipotle Mango BBQ Chicken
Guy uses a smoky-sweet blend of chipotles in adobo, bright mango and fresh cilantro as both a marinade and a side sauce for his ultra-tender chicken.

BBQ Chicken Pizza
A generous splash of bourbon and a trio of chiles give Guy’s homemade barbecue sauce bold, smoky flavor. He slathers the puree atop pizza dough before adding toppings like grilled chicken, sweet red onions and rich cheese.

Guy Fieri’s Tequila-Lime Wings
Tequila and lime juice are key ingredients in a margarita, but Guy updates this boozy mix by adding aromatic adobo and cumin to make a standout marinade (and sauce!) for tender grilled wings.

Pork and Chicken Paella Verde
Guy’s creative spin on paella swaps the typical seafood elements for hearty proteins like ribs and chicken thighs. A spicy verde sauce made from tomatillos, serrano chiles and poblano peppers gives the dish an added kick.

Three-Citrus Chicken Breast with Compound Butter
Compound butters — aka butter infused with other ingredients — are a simple way to add flavor to any dish. Follow Guy’s lead and marinate chicken breasts in a mustardy bath made with lemon, grapefruit and orange. Serve them with his butter infused with the same citrus trio for an extra-zesty bite.

Jerked Chicken Kebabs
Bring the big flavors of Jamaican cuisine — think nutmeg, ginger and the fiery Scotch bonnet pepper — to your table with these simple chicken kebabs. Don’t fret about the heat of the pepper, though; Guy balances the spice with a cool mango-lime salsa.

Grilled Chicken Mole Negro
Guy dresses up grilled chicken with his mole negro, a rich sauce made by blending chiles, onions, spices and a touch of dark chocolate for a subtle sweetness like that found in traditional moles.
