PERFECTLY GRILLED CHICKEN (2 WAYS)

Brian, despite having almost 500K subs, you are SLEPT ON. I have yet to make anything by you that hasn't been good. I find your style of video and ingredients much more approachable than most other big KZbin content creators. It's high quality stuff but lacking in pretentiousness. You are a great teacher, keep doing what you do my guy.

I feel this. I had a bad experience maybe a decade ago with chicken and it took me a good 4 years to trust it again and I am still picky about who makes it and how. LOL. I hope you can get him back on the horse (or chicken) again. Fingers crossed for you :)

[@karenfox1671]

I made your drumsticks tonight! GREAT RECIPE! I love how complex the flavours are. Everybody loved them. It's so nice to have an extra "saucy" dish to spice up the rotation, that pairs extremely well with rice, wedge fries, pasta, or a multitude of salads. What couldn't you serve with them? And, they are SO EASY to make! It was worth crying my eyes out grating that onion. Thanks again Brian!!!!!!

I'm an old SE reader (like, 2010ish) and Bri is the only one who captures that balance between overall simplicity and rigorous R&D for the best results - even Kenji is not who he once was. Netshaq is good for n00bs and lifestyle advice, and Chef John is in a league of his own, but Brian is the only one who will get me to make a recipe just by posting a video. If you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears. P.S. I'm not counting region-specific guys like Middle Eats or CCD, nor am I counting specialists like Bravetart, all of whom are excellent in their fields.

Do tell us how you did with your new method.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

I'm a dedicated charcoal guy. I run a mid size rectangular Masterbuilt w/ height adjustable fire bed and has Grillgrate brand inserts (those things are totally worth the money.....really work well) But yes it is a PITA to regulate heat properly and I've been tempted to not replace, but add a gas unit.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

Looks yummy! I confess to being a charcoal person . . . I figure if you're using a gas grill, you might as well use you gas stove and a cast iron grill pan. It's the woody, smokey part that I'm after, and I've been doing this for awhile, so I've pretty much scienced it out. Thighs are usually my chicken of choice, but a pan full of drumsticks sounds like a winner to me!

[@anonymousname8833]

Thing about gas grills that's really important; you want to make the grill flare up with fire at some point to really flamegrill the meat and give it really good flavor. That's something you can't really do inside on a gas burner.

[@jordonbay7778]

@@anonymousname8833 I much prefer the flavor of charcoal, but it takes time. Gas is convenient and yes, the flare ups really do make a difference in flavor...

[@gypsywolf2061]

I live with my parents(not by choice) and do most of the cooking. My mom just bought a huge package of drumsticks even though I rarely cook with them and shes never made them. I needed a fairly simple recipe to use them and this looks perfect!

[@heavyq]

I've eaten close to 5 pounds of chicken a week for the last 12 years. When I discovered cooking to 150 and having it carry over the rest of the way it changed my cooking game. I've switched to chicken thighs for my weekly meal prep, but when do need to make chicken breasts it's nice to not overcook them like so many people do.

Excellent seasoning and sauce recipes, and I appreciate the explanation on the importance and significance of each step. I’ve been bbqing with wood for many years.

[@JimBobMcGillicuddy]

So here's the thing -- that's not necessarily a good thing. B-man bit into the chicken when it hadn't rested (for the sake of video production, not because he doesn't know this shit), which means that it expelled its juices at a much higher volume than if the chicken had rested to around 120 F. A good, juicy piece of meat actually involves it being able to retain its juices. Obviously it's a good sign that the meat hadn't dried out or whatever at that temp, but you're not looking for a pool to leave your nice steak every time you cut into it. There's a good article on Serious Eats by papa Kenji on this topic.

[@alannolet3109]

@@JimBobMcGillicuddy Hey! Yeah, I'm aware the chicken probably hadn't rested and that it needs to. But those juices are absolutely an indication of the perfect level of doneness and of what's to come. 🤤

[@Dales_Workshop]

Just made the marinated boneless breast. Came out just like Brian's, moist and flavorful. I used supermarket brand "hot pepper flakes", a little less than 1 tsp and that was enough. There was a nice kick of heat and flavor. I would not use 2 tsp of the type of flakes I used. Great recipe, Brian! I'll be doing these again this summer. Oh, I think they'd make a nice sandwich too. Oh, I grilled them with charcoal on a Kamado Joe. 500°, with one half-moon cooking grate near the fire and the other at the top level. Served with roasted corn on the cob, loaded potato salad, and a tomato slice topped with a burrata, truffle carpaccio, a chiffonade of basil, drizzle of truffle oil and sea salt.

[@user-zr7qm7zf4o]

In the Italian restaurant I work at, we use olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper lemon and soy sauce lol. The soy sauce makes that ish transcendent.

I've been failing at cooking on the grill for years, but this video finally put me on the right track. My grilled chicken always came out dry because I overcooked it, overcompensating for my fears that I would undercook it. Finally, with this recipe, I got a great result. The pounding and the two-region cooking system did the trick. Not only was the chicken perfectly juicy, it was delicious. Thank you so much!

[@TrainerInTraining]

I made the Italian marinade chicken. I cooked on a stovetop grill pan and squeezed a lime and half lemon into the marinade but pretty much followed exact instructions besides that. Wow -- it was awesome and so "moist' Thank you for a delish recipe.

STL & KC BBQ sauces are the best imo, though I’ve gotten to like the mustard sauces also

[@24kachina]

D O P E. The chicken breast in particular. The key is that any marinade for chicken breast (or really any protein destined for a grill) MUST NOT contain water , see, e.g., Wishbone Italian dressing. Herbs, seasonings, and a little oil is the Golden Ticket, otherwise you are poaching meat on the grill until water from marinade evaporates, and by then protein is likely under seared and over done. Thank you Brian for yet another fine video. And, charcoalphiles aside, indulge the gas grill, you will cook outside more, and usually as good or better than quibbling with increasingly expensive charcoal.

If you have a pellet grill, you should be aquainted with the hot and cold spots on the grill, I preheated to 450, then moved the meat to a cool spot for the rest of the cook, while lowering the grill to 420. I'm a huge fan of this one!
