No doubt about it, your dad is a one-of-a-kind guy. From changing diapers to tying shoes to showing up for your big day, your dad has been there for you in so many special ways, and Father's Day is the ultimate occasion to cheer him on. If you ask us, the best way to show your dad how much you care is through (what else?) food. So, whether you're on the hunt for a grilled wings recipe that’s great for a tasty appetizer or getting together with extended family for a big cookout that requires a lot of Father’s Day recipes, these feature everything dads love.
1. Air Fryer Chili Garlic Wings
If there’s one thing dads love, it’s gadgets. Show him you inherited the tech-meets-creature-comfort gene with these sweet-and-spicy Air Fryer Chili Garlic Wings. Every saucy, flavorful bite of these perfectly crispy wings will have him asking how you topped his grilled wings recipe. My how the tables have turned. 😈
2. Vegan Buffalo Wings
Maybe Father's Day for your family includes letting Dad sit back on the couch and watch a little sports action. If that's the case, you can't go wrong with serving up a plate of these mouthwatering, lip-smacking, plant-based wings that are made with Gardein® Seven Grain Crispy Tenders and Earth Balance® Original Buttery Spread. Plus, you can even round out this Father’s Day recipe with a selection of veggies, chips, and Dad's favorite dips, like this Pressure Cooker Ranch Hummus.
3. Pressure Cooker Bourbon BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
We’re putting the man in Manwich® with another perfect Father’s Day recipe. Juicy chicken is tenderized in a pressure cooker along with Manwich Bourbon BBQ Sloppy Joe Sauce, then lovingly doled out on toasted buns and topped with smoked cheddar cheese and Vlasic® Ovals Hamburger Dill Chips. Better be careful though—with the delicious aromas coming from you multicooker, there will be dads lining up you aren’t even related to.
4. Southwest Plant-Based Burger
There’s not a more classic Father’s Day grill idea than a big juicy burger when it comes to Father's Day recipes. Of course, you can't go wrong with the traditional fixings like Hunt's® 100% natural tomato ketchup and Vlasic Ovals Hamburger Dill Chips. But why not change things up a bit? Here’s a thrilling spin that features Frontera® Spicy Guacamole Mix, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, and more on top of Gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Burger.

Just throw the ingredients in a slow cooker and put that baby to work. It may take a few hours, but like Dad always said, the best things in life take time.
6. Fish Tacos
If your dad loves seafood, he'll be absolutely obsessed with cumin-spiced tilapia-powered tacos. Featuring a fresh and crunchy tri-color coleslaw mix spiked with Mexican Style RO*TEL®, every bite brings a world of flavor. They pair wonderfully with a glass of beer and some quality time on the deck.
7. Stout Caramel Brownies
Beer and dessert—it’s the ultimate Father's Day combo, no matter how you celebrate. Featuring Duncan Hines® Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix, the recipe combines the sweet indulgence of chocolate caramel brownies with the rich, dark, fullness of a stout. With a little Reddi-wip® on top, it's practically guaranteed to put a smile on Dad's face. Too full for brownies? Peep our recipe for Stout Beer Floats made with Reddi-wip Nitro Coffee Creamer.
