Grilled Chicken Under a Brick With Lemon, Garlic, and Rosemary

Placing a brick atop a butterflied chicken results in an evenly browned and slightly crisp skin, a great start to an excellent bird. Brush chicken with garlic and rosemary mixture for the perfect marriage of texture and flavor.

Grilled Butterflied Chicken

For the best grilled chicken, start it off on the cooler side of a two-zone grill. Finish it off directly over the coals to crisp up the skin until crackly and charred.

Grilled Cornish Hens with Lemon and Rosemary

Perfectly juicy, crisp, and smoky grilled cornish hens rubbed with rosemary and lemon zest.

Rotisserie Chicken

Taking rotisserie chicken from acceptable to crispy, juicy, life-affirming excellence requires salt, butter, a little extra time, and a hot charcoal fire.

Huli Huli Chicken

Using the traditional method of roasting, then saucing a bird, Huli Huli chicken introduces a new set of flavors that is reminiscent of the American classic barbecue version, but takes it to exciting new places.

Grilled Boneless Chicken Breasts

A brine for chicken breasts, and how to cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts on the grill.

Mojo-Marinated Grilled Chicken

On a quest to duplicate my one of my favorite chickens of all time, I finally hit the nail on the head—mojo sauce! A base of sour orange mixed with oil, garlic, oregano, and cumin serves as a marinade and baste for this bird, and what comes off the rotisserie in the end is a sight for sore eyes and a party for the tastebuds.

Poulet Rouge With Cabbage, Turnip, and Black Radish From 'Roberta's'

Roberta's chef Carlo Mirarchi cooks this chicken in two steps: he starts it whole in a hot oven before separating the legs from the breast and sticking it all on the grill. This (admittedly laborious) process results in perfectly cooked leg and breast meat, infused with smoke from the grill. Around the chicken are pieces of roasted Japanese turnips, buttery Savoy cabbage drizzled with maple syrup, and thin rounds of spicy black radish.

Sticky Grilled Chicken

This sticky grilled chicken is THE chicken marinade I reach for when I want a guaranteed winner. The smell when this hits the BBQ is outrageous!
