Quick & Easy Grilled Chicken Marinade

This Spicy Italian BBQ Ranch Grilled Chicken is on repeat in our house. It is super quick and easy to make and it tastes GREAT! It is delicious as a main dish, chopped up on a salad or chopped up in a tortilla wrap. We usually grill extra chicken so we can eat leftovers during the week. SO GOOD!

The chicken is marinated in a combination of Italian dressing, BBQ sauce, Ranch dressing, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. All of my favorites in one dish! I let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator overnight. I always prep the chicken before I go to bed so it is ready to grill for lunch or dinner the next day. If you don't have that much time, just let the chicken marinate as long as possible.

How to Cook Chicken on the Grill

My number one tip for cooking juicy and delicious chicken on the grill is to pound the chicken to an even thickness. We put the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and use a flat meat mallet to pound the chicken. Pounding the chicken will allow it to cook evenly on the grill. You won't have a piece of half-cooked half-dry chicken. 

Depending on the size of your chicken breasts, it should take about 12 to 15 minutes to cook on the grill. We like to flip the chicken every few minutes during the cooking time. 

Can Grilled Chicken Be Pink?

NO! Unlike pork and beef, you don't want any pink in your chicken. The internal temperature needs to be 165ºF. Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken.

How Can I Cook Grilled Chicken Without a Grill?

Don't have a grill and want to make this yummy Spicy Italian BBQ Ranch Grilled Chicken? No problem! You can use a George Foreman Grill or cook it on the stove and oven. My preferred method is to pan sear the chicken for 3 minutes on each side and then bake it in a 400ºF oven for an additional 10 minutes.

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’

Restaurant Workers Are Combing Through Job Listings — But They’re Not Applying

Photo by Dominic Lipinski/PA Images via Getty Images Culinary Agents CEO Alice Cheng on the restaurant worker shortage and how workers will return to the industry ‘on their timeframe’ As restaurants across the country expand capacity, reopen for indoor dining, and prepare for a new season of outdoor service, owners are struggling to find staff to meet their needs. Many workers still don’t feel safe returning to work during a pandemic. Others don’t want to fight with patrons over health and safety guidelines. Some may have left town or joined another industry while they were laid off and will return when the timing and opportunity are right. Alice Cheng, CEO of hospitality industry job search engine Culinary Agents , has a macro view of the hiring trends across various cities and states and is a careful observer of candidate behavior. “A lot of the data that we see is there’s so many people looking at jobs, more so than in the past, and they’re waiting,” Cheng told Eater’s Digest
