Father's Day Recipes the Whole Family Will Enjoy

By Stephanie Gallagher, About.com

Father's Day recipes mean "man food." So fire up the grill, and get cookin'.

BBQ Chicken

BBQ ChickenStephanie Gallagher
This BBQ Chicken recipe is made in an electric skillet. This prevents the BBQ chicken from burning, as it often does when grilling, and allows the barbecue sauce to flavor the chicken during cooking.

Got leftovers? Use them to make BBQ chicken quesadillas.

Pizza Burgers

Combine two of every man's favorite foods -- pizza and burgers -- into one delectable Father's Day recipe. If you want to get fancy, use pizza sauce in place of the ketchup on these burgers.

Crock Pot Chili
