If you can move your party indoors or safely tuck your crowd under a tent, you can \u201cparty on\u201d even if your grill is out of play. These are our favorite oven-friendly barbecue recipes that can easily be thrown on a grill if the weather lets up!<\/span><\/p>\n

This recipe delivers as promised: chicken so tender you could cut it with a fork and all that smoky BBQ flavor your guests are craving — minus the grill. The secret to Heather\u2019s recipe is the killer overnight marinade. Just be sure you don\u2019t marinade for more than 24 hours! Chicken has a sweet spot and the meat could get a little funky. If the sun decides to make an appearance you can easily change course and throw this flavor-packed meat on the grill instead.

3. Juicy Oven Steak <\/span>by Weary Chef<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Making steak in an oven sound sacrilegious, but when you\u2019re without a grill and you have to feed a crowd: a host\u2019s gotta do what a host\u2019s gotta do. You can\u2019t go wrong with this tasty steak recipe from <\/span>Weary Chef<\/span><\/i>. The beef comes out far more tender than it would from a grill and you can easily knock out multiple servings at once. Keep in mind with all of these recipes that the meat needs to rest for a period of 30 minutes before serving, so that gives you plenty of time to move various dishes in and out of the oven.
