The Formula for Perfect Grilled Chicken Breasts | America's Test Kitchen Full Episode (S23 E22)

The pickle segment was fun to watch. Keep up the good work!

I dont use grill brushes with metal anymore. one water soaked ball of paper towels on a hot grill followed by a ball with oil cleans and oils just as well.

[@placeholderhandle99]

I'm surprised they're still using the metal bristle brush considering the risks of bristles coming off and ending up in food. I use a spiral metal brush (1 continuous loop) or wood scraper.

[@aggiet9203]

​@@placeholderhandle99 it's only an issue if the bristles are set in plastic

[@billygilbert7911]

I've been doing the same. I tried the Grill Rescue and it broke in one cleaning. I did buy a nylon brush because the paper towels wouldn't get the stubborn stuff off my pellet smoker.

[@jackielinde7568]

You really cannot go wrong with Oneida flatware. I have a set that I purchased in 1999 that has held up to all sorts of abuse, including prolonged soaks in dirty water and some rather percussive abuses. They've held up beautifully. The cheaper flatware I went for my meat dishes was stamped steel and didn't hold up at all. Looking at getting two new sets to update my kitchen, and I'm definitely going with Oneida all the way.

[@mynameissang]

Unfortunately, Oneida sold its plants in 2003, most prominently its Buffalo plant. It's all been made in China stuff since then. I'm sure they're still fine, but it's not the same flatware you got from 1999.

[@jackielinde7568]

@@mynameissang Thank for the update. I didn't know they closed their US plants.

[@ghw7192]

My Oneida set dates back to 1970. In the early 80s, I stopped at an Oneida outlet and picked up serving and other miscellaneous pieces. I love it!.

Pro tip: put a tiny bit of oil in your honey container before the honey and it will come right out

[@Paula-zh3rm]

So much more to discuss about flatware than what they covered here. One being the quality of the steel. Another being the fork tines. Just to mention a few.

[@ronwomelsdorf7320]

grilling chicken breast is always intimidating to me...think dry! This looks doable and Im going to have to try it soon. Thanks Keith, hope to see more of you on the channel.

[@MariaInSoFla]

Made the grilled chicken breasts last night. Family didn't care for the flavor but the method brought moist and tender chicken. Will be searching for a brinerade that suits us better, but am grateful that you shared this with me.

[@redstreaklady]

Agree with the chicken however the red pepper sauce elevated it, I thought.

[@dchenkin02]

Basic principles of salt to keep meat moist and sugar to burn on grill marks will work with poultry and pork. Other flavors can vary in a brinarade.

[@kathleenray1827]

Just in time for grilling season! Could you put some baking soda in the marinade to keep the chicken less “rubbery”??

[@julseabate4173]

love the new intro girls & dan!!

[@mattstewart1637]

Bern doing this ever since I got the recipe, its the best way to grill chicken!

[@bluedragonfly623]

Aside from heft, balance, and edges of the flatware, the spoon head shapes matters. The more expensive one looked like the spoons were really round/wide, where the Oneida one was more oval and looked like it would be more comfortable.

[@youeyeball]

Thanks, ATK 👏 !

[@Sgtcanadian]

How come when he says "we have a cup of liquid" it's clearly at 125ML but then it's also a 2 cup sized pyrex container? Are the measuring lines off?

[@CrimeVid]

I'll try the chicken,very sceptical !

[@clintgalterio1991]

Your grill grates are upside down...just learned this last week after using my Weber for 15 years

[@richardhale2117]

Weber says you can use either side depending on the grill marks you desire. One side gives you broad marks, the other, thinner marks.

[@ratlips4363]

Ella...I can only say, "It shows" congratulations!

[@nataliemeador9034]

What can I substitute for almonds due to nut allergy

[@n.a.garciafamily]

Maybe some sunflower seeds ... That would be some flavor change though. I'd maybe put in some rice (cooked) with a touch of flavorless oil...

[@stjabnful]

Can you , please, give the brand/type of the grill brush? Thanks!🎉

[@stjabnful]

@@sandrah7512 thank you! I found it on Amazon.

[@MarshaPieprzyk]

What temp is the grill for cooking the chicken? All he says is he pre-heated the grill.

[@vincentbarba7038]

Presumably two zones; full blast and moderate low.

[@MarshaMarsha885]

Pre salt a few hours before cooking works every time for moist chicken

[@MarshaMarsha885]

[@MarshaMarsha885]

@@sandrah7512 did you come on here to argue. Preplanning a meal and pre salting go hand and hand. It takes a minute to salt chicken and leave for an hour or can be longer. It’s called prepping

[@MarshaMarsha885]

@@sandrah7512 first of all I commented first on the day it was posted. And I did not dismiss it the method they choose to do. There are other methods of making moist chicken and I was pointing out another method that also works. Get off that high horse of yours and step off . If you can’t except other ppl ideas of cooking you’re on the wrong posts. Now back off and move on

I love this channel!

[@kevinhullinger8743]

The key is quality chicken Breast and its expensive and hard to find sometimes. If mass produced chicken breast is the only available option I’ll find something else to cook.

[@franklynj9]

Keep it up im inpressed

[@60Airflyte]

I can’t find the winning flatware anywhere.

[@Rdasboss]

You still use table salt in most of your recipes, is this because it dissolves quicker or because most people still use it. Would be nice if the app and website allowed you to change the salt type even better would be between diamond crystal and mortons.

[@Rdasboss]

@@sandrah7512 thanks i do know theyve addressed it, it would just be nice to have an option on each recipe so i dont have to search for it each time

[@danivasquez2441]

Pro tip. Cook to 150-155OC. It will carry over to 160oC

[@jz1340]

Brine with pickle juice....the best!

[@DM-ll7he]

Instead of fish sauce can I use soy sauce?

[@opwave79]

You definitely can. I cook with both but only use fish sauce if I’m going for a particular flavor profile. Also, I wouldn’t recommend adding salt on top of fish sauce unless you’ve tried the fish sauce first. Not all brands are equal.

[@karenvelez3023]

My husband is a diabetic, are there any other options than the honey?

[@dchenkin02]

The amount of sugar is minimal and burns when in contact with high heat. Without some honey or other natural sugar on the surface of the chicken you will not get noticable grill marks while keeping white meat from being overcooked.

[@honeytgb]

5:07 "A loooong set of tongs" and proceeds to hold the tongs as close to the flame as possible.

[@Butterb0ne]

The purpose of long tongs is to keep your hands from burning, not to keep the oiled towel of the grill.

[@honeytgb]

@@Butterb0ne what I meant, but phrased awkwardly, was that his fingers were close the flame end of the tongs.

[@kareninalabama]

I beg to differ with Keith, but fish sauce most DEFINITELY tastes fishy. I made the mistake of adding a small amount to my marinated Asian cucumbers and onions (sliced thin, dressed with seasoned rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and black sesame seeds), turning them into fishy cucumbers and onions and basically ruining them. When I try this grilled chicken recipe, I'll sub Worcestershire sauce for the fish sauce.

[@dchenkin02]

Soy sauce is the closest substitute for fish sauce. Worcestershire sauce has vinegar which reacts with meat more than soy or fish sauce.

[@o-_-ojb]

That berry granita made me just melt away in my chair. How lovely.

[@kevinreiman4815]

Grilled Chicken = Fishy

[@tangiora4948]

I make a lot of chicken breast. So I made and played with the brinaide recipe. I have to admit I have a hard time getting past the smell of fish sauce. We use Squid brand a lot making Chinese dishes and you have to burry the taste amid a lot of other ones for me. After cooking the chicken the way described above I could still smell and taste that musky dead fish smell. And you can taste some honey too but the method of cooking made it perfectly moist. I had always been told 165 degrees and the 5 degreees makes a big difference. Not satisfied with the above recipe I cut the fish sauce down to a third of that listed and added soy sauce in one batch, and soy and Arome (a french Maggi sauce). The latter was the best. Another variant to get the Umami without the dead fish smell is Worcestershire sauce which has sardine paste. I would never put 3 tablespoons in. For some reason it doesn't smell or taste fishy to me, however that dramatically changed the rest of the dish and made it seem more like barbecue.

[@matsudakodo]

And that is our chicken.

[@wa2k99]

Grillos are the best pickles

[@testdriveguy]

I like how she (justifiably) almost giggles when he says "brinerade". If you're going to throw out a term like that, you've gotta let people know you think it's silly (cuz it is).

[@robertobattioni9591]

Question: WHY? Do you want to eat chicken breast?

[@DoughboyGod]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@waymor2460]

That’s a marinade. A brine is salt and water and maybe pepper corns and the protein is brined much longer than 30 mins. No need for a new word.

[@innerjon]

Just say brine like a normal person!

[@JohnDing81]

I think it would be more realistic if you used the giant chicken breasts and cut them down instead of the sized 8oz breast.

[@redfields5070]

Gas grill? Forget it! It's a wonder you didn't boil the chicken. Who doesn't want to cook chicken using about 30 ingredients?

[@redfields5070]

Please cut the intro in half!

I feel like there has to be a better word than 'brineraide', please try to find a better term. Please.

[@roverradar]

Brinerade IS a real term - It’s a cross between a marinade and a brine. So, it’s got way less water than a brine does, and it’s basically a really salty marinade but with no acid.👈definition courtesy of The Frugal Girl. (August 21, 2019 article: The Best Chicken Brinerade).

You can substitite soy sauce for fish sauce to still add salt and umami to a marinade.

Why are the poor test cooks in the background still required to wear facemasks? Is that gonna be indefinite?

1) why do you care? 2) do you think they filmed this today? 3) how do you know they are required to wear them? 4) your pity is pathetic as is your pandering to anti-common sense protocols during a global pandemic. 5) check your ignorance/intolerance at the door.

[@7HPDH]

@@lizcademy4809 woahhhhh

[@vincentbarba7038]

@DJL78 ​​1. I care because I recall how uncomfortable those masks were to wear. 2. It was posted six hours ago and involves summer recipes so it was likely filmed Q1 of 2024 or perhaps Q4 of 2023. Either way the pandemic had been declared over before then. 3. I assume they are required to wear them because everyone back there is wearing one. If not required by fiat then required by social pressures. Either way, that sucks for them. 4. Thank you for the kind words. Also, the C19 pandemic is no longer a global priority. Avían flu however.... 5. I seem to have checked your ignorance/intolerance in this post. Please remember to tip the coat check attendant on the way out :) Extra thoughts: Doeesn't it strike you as odd that only the support staff are wearing masks? Not gonna see any of the stars putting up with that. Not throwing shade. I wouldn't either if I was them. Mask wearing food preps are likely to pander to those unfamiliar with the trappings of food safety. Check ServSafe before you disagree.
