How to Add More Flavor the Next Time You Grill Steak or Chicken
Consider the added spices and seasonings and cooking technique to get the most out of a delicious piece of chicken. Preparations like marinating add flavor that takes center stage when it finally reaches the plate. Dry rubs and sauces also keep chicken moist and tender. Because it has a lower fat content than some other meats like beef or pork chicken can become dry if overcooked. Increasing the moisture content in the bird will improve the flavor and texture.
Other techniques such as smoking take longer to cook but give the meat unique and complex flavors. You can also choose your cuts carefully at the store to get the most out of your flavor enhancers and your budget. Whether you opt for large bone-in pieces or smaller portable skewers chicken has a place on any summer grill.
Make a homemade marinade before grilling or opt for a pre-made one. The secret to a great marinade is to balance acidity fat and flavor. The acid usually from wine juice or vinegar tenderizes the meat helps keep it moist and allows it to absorb more flavor. Fat from oils helps all the ingredients blend together and also keeps the meat from drying out. Marinades come in combinations that work with almost any type of cuisine. You could opt for chicken street tacos with a smoky adobado marinade or something with lots of herbs and garlic like a Greek chicken corn bowl.
