Crowd Feeders: Easy Recipes to Serve the Summer Hordes

More really is merrier when it comes to summertime parties. These group-friendly recipes can easily be doubled (or tripled!) to make sure there's enough food to go around.

Sriracha-Glazed Chicken

Spicy, sticky, and ever-so-slightly sweet, these outrageously flavorful wings are made in just two steps. 

This classic garden-to-table stew recipe is courtesy of accessories designer Clare Vivier's French mother-in-law. A great make-ahead recipe, it can be prepared up to three days in advance, is delicious hot or at room temp, and serves 12. It's just one of the showstopping entrees on Clare's French rustic dinner party menu.

Too hot to turn on the oven? This vegetable-packed dish ensures you don't have to. When making this meal for a larger group, try using a trick from catering pros: Double the recipe and layer lasagna stacks along sheet pans. Then simply cut and serve!

Robust flavors are in each bite of these irresistible sliders. Plan ahead and make the meat a day in advance for even more richness.

It's no surprise that this recipe became a test-kitchen favorite: It's layered with crunchy graham crackers, rich chocolate, and ice cream.

Guests will be app-happy with these crunchy and fragrant hors d'oeuvres that look elegant but are surprisingly simple to roll out. Larger than they look, one to two pinwheels should be enough to stave off hunger until dinnertime.

These fiery shrimp are impossible to pass up! Double the marinade and shrimp to feed a larger group. (Test-kitchen tip: Make this recipe before your guests arrive by using the broiler. Arrange shrimp on a baking sheet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side.)
