Top them with chopped fresh sage. This recipe can be made with egg replacement; see instructions below.

Step up your grilled chicken game with these meaty drumsticks that are bathed in a naturally sweet plum sauce. Wedges of crispy sweet potato are a perfect sidekick. If feeding a big backyard crowd, you can easily double or triple the plum sauce, chicken and sweet potatoes. To allow the inside of the potato wedges to finish cooking before the outsides become completely charred, it’s best to parboil the potatoes in a pot of water just until slightly tender. If you have a large grill, you can cook the sweet potatoes and chicken at the same time. If not, cook the chicken and then cover to keep warm while you prepare the potato wedges.

Grilling imbues wedges of romaine lettuce with smoky flavor and tender texture and it makes cherry tomatoes become impossibly sweet. Add a chunky vegetable-bean medley and a punchy pesto dressing, and you’ve got an extraordinary salad.
