Salisbury, MD, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The weather is warming up, which means it’s time to level up at the grill with great food and good company. Let someone else bring the hot dogs and burgers. For those looking to be the stars of the cookout, BBQ, picnic, or tailgate, bring the bird and create something that makes everyone happy. Chicken offers a versatile and approachable option for every cooking ability and event. Perdue gives you the flavorful recipes, products, and giveaways that make your grilled chicken easy, healthy, and delicious.
For more than 106 years, Perdue has helped bring families together around the table, and this summer the company is celebrating the many ways chicken continues to connect people across regions, cultures, and traditions.
"There's no better food for celebrating America's 250th birthday than grilled chicken," said Chris Perdue, SVP Marketing, Digital and E-Commerce at Perdue. "Every family, neighborhood, and region has its own traditions when it comes to grilling. From wings and drumsticks to pollo asado and jerk chicken, chicken has a unique way of bringing people together while reflecting the flavors and cultures that make America special."

New Flavors and Techniques
Famed grilling experts and Perdue partners, Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey of The Grill Dads, have created exclusive Perdue chicken recipes that bring the flavor and give chicken the ‘main-character’ energy it deserves.
"In our backyards, chicken gets more grill time than just about anything during the summer. It’s incredibly versatile, takes on flavor like a champ, and works whether you're feeding two people or twenty," said Mark and Fey of The Grill Dads. "What we love about Perdue is that they make it easy to get great results on the grill. Grab your favorite cut, fire things up, and you've got the foundation for a winning dish."
