+1 for a fajita bar. We make beef, chicken, and sometimes shrimp.

If I know everyone likes shrimp, we sometimes do a "Low Country Boil" -- shrimp, potatoes, corn, onions with a ton of Old Bay.

Is COVID the main dish or just a side?

I'm do the New York Times Chicken Shawarma (which you can do either on sheet pans in the oven or on the grill) with pita (also grill it a little bit or heat in a sauté pan and cut in triangles) plus romaine salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and crumbled feta. For dressing, use lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle chopped flat leaf parsley all over the cooked meat and everything else.

Fried chicken involves just standing at the stove forever while your guests hang out outside, though. OP should do something more hands-off to be able to be with her guests.


Most stoves have more than one burner. My husband makes unbelievable fried chicken and doesn’t miss out on much.

Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter Sage sauce

Grilled chicken breasts

Side salad with vinaigrette

Brownies & Vanilla Ice cream

This would appeal to picky eaters or vegetarians and most people eat chicken while a lot of people don’t eat pork, beef or seafood.

A nice platter of appetizers (cheeses, crackers, hard salami, olives, mozzarella, etc)
A hearty soup (white bean, or french onion, or Italian wedding, etc)
Side of warm roasted vegetables (brussel sprouts with bacon or mix of root vegetables or eggplant)
Nice loaves of crusty bread, and soft rolls, breadsticks, cornbread
Dessert bar; Warm pie (Apple and or pumpkin with vanilla ice cream if desired), cupcakes for kids, high quality chocolate bars crumbled, maybe a lemon or orange pound cake (see Ina Garten's recipe)
Coffees and tea

It’s the common seasoning on every dish, a lot like Old Bay. Sounds like they call it (let the) Old Die.
