The 4th of July is the biggest grilling day of the year and the perfect opportunity to show off your skills at the grill. Grab your apron and treat your guests to a flavorful menu they will enjoy more than the fireworks display!

To help backyard chefs prepare an epic menu, Great American BBQ tour host Mike Peters joined me to share his grilling expertise with tips and recipes for upgrading your grilled chicken game and how to add smoky flavor to your grilled goods like a pro pit master – no smoker required!
