Chicken breast contains around 32 grams of protein per 100 grams, while boneless chicken thigh contains 25 grams of protein per 100 grams, making breast the higher protein option.

Most pizza stones are made with a high-grade cordierite material, which allows them to tolerate the heat of your grill or outdoor pizza oven, which was one of the best investments I ever made.

New American Light Lager (think: Budweiser) just doesn't stand up to the chilies in chili. As its name implies, a light lager is a type of beer with the mildest, most delicate flavor. While they're refreshing on a hot day, they certainly don't have a robust profile, nor the depth that's necessary to bring any nuanced tasting notes to chili, even after reducing with a simmer.

Unfortunately, though, it can take a long time to cook ribs right. Whether you choose to cook them on the grill or in the oven, you're looking at several hours of cook time, which isn't always convenient when you're trying to throw dinner together in under an hour.

Ikea's 3-in-1 microwave can grill, cook, and air-fry. That means you can make microwave oatmeal for breakfast, grilled chicken for lunch, and crispy fries for dinner, all in the same appliance. The GÅTEBO allows for multi-stage cooking, too, so you can set it to defrost a frozen breakfast burrito on the microwave's defrost setting and then automatically grill it afterwards.

Cooking prime rib on the grill rather than in the oven will give you more smoky flavor and that signature char of a steak - just on a juicy, thick cut like prime rib. It's important to note that this method works best for rib steaks that are about 2 inches thick and weigh about 2 pounds.

Gochujang is a staple condiment in Korean cuisine that you can easily find in Asian supermarkets and Trader Joe's for under $2. It usually comes in a plastic red tub. Made with fermented Korean chilis and other ingredients like glutinous rice, soybeans, and salt, just one tablespoon of this condiment will add sweetness, heat, and umami to your burger patties.

Knob Creek's smoked maple offering is a smooth, smoky and slightly sweet bourbon with full-bodied maple notes as well as hints of rich vanilla and caramel. It has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 45%, which means it needs to be incorporated in the barbecue sauce at the cooking stage, as opposed to just stirring it into a store-bought version of the condiment.

"Our barbecue [sauce] could be classified as a St. Louis-style sauce: sweet, smoky, and some zesty spices on the finish," Texas Roadhouse employee Megan Pence noted in the interview. While there's a whole world of BBQ sauces - from Kansas City-style to Carolina Gold - a St. Louis-style sauce is an excellent choice for ribs, since the acidity from this sauce's typical ingredients, including ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and mustard, pairs well with the meat.

There's something to be said about the appeal of chain restaurants. In theory, customers can walk into any location and get much the same experience. There's nothing wrong with that, especially considering some chains take quality seriously. Chain barbecue restaurants are fewer and farther between than, say, steakhouse chains, and that's because of some unique challenges, including the differences between beloved regional styles. However, the one thing that unites great barbecue is the need for great sides - which is why we're here.

Among the many tips for making the absolute best grilled chicken, one vital step is to salt your chicken at least a day prior to grilling. Known as dry brining, this technique is important to let the flavors and tenderizing effects of the salt fully permeate your chicken to give it an optimal taste and texture when grilled. Though similar to a marinade or wet brine, the difference with dry brining is that it's considerably less messy than a liquid-based brine.

You probably know apple juice as a fixture of childhood lunches, or a seasonal siren that announces fall's arrival. You spot glimpses of it in cocktails and perhaps you sip on warm renditions at bonfires. Still, you might not really expect to find this familiar drink at barbecues, sitting in a spray bottle next to the flaming grill. Don't worry, it's not there by mistake. With all that it can do, apple juice absolutely belongs on your list of grilling essentials.

It's the dead of winter, but you're still craving food that's been cooked on the grill. That smoky flavor, the crispy, almost-burnt texture, and that signature sizzle just can't be recreated in the kitchen. But let's be honest: Grilling during the winter is a lot different than grilling during the summer. The cold temps mean that it's a lot less pleasant to be standing outside for extended periods of time,

Outdoor grilling and smoking is a unique pleasure, particularly in warmer weather. When there's a chill in the air, and you don't much feel like standing outside, it might seem like cooking up your favorite grilled meats is just out of reach. The oven can easily be your saving grace for savory favorites, albeit with a slightly different but nonetheless delicious taste and texture. It's simply a matter of proper preparation, time, and patience to create a crave-worthy rack of ribs right in your oven.

"Let your meat rest for at least 2 hours after smoking, wrapped in peach paper and tucked into an insulated cooler. It makes a huge difference," he said. This is because all of the juices in the meat tend to pool together as the muscle fibers contract during cooking. But as the meat cools and the fibers relax, the moisture can redistribute evenly. Any excess water will also have the chance to evaporate, which prevents the meat from turning out dry and flavorless.

Burgers are meant to be an easy meal, requiring little more than shaping ground beef into patties and cooking them to juicy perfection. While a basic burger always hits the spot, sometimes plain ground beef patties can become lackluster and boring. However, you may have a hard time finding inspiration to jazz up your hamburgers that doesn't require a lot of extra effort.

To achieve tender, juicy perfection, chef Irvine's crispy fried pork spare ribs recipe involves wrapping a rack of ribs tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil after they've been seasoned and have had time to rest before oven cooking. But the plastic! Won't the heat from the oven melt it? In short, no. In a similar rib recipe for Food Network, Chef Irvine specifically notes that at 225 degrees Fahrenheit, the plastic wrap won't get hot enough to melt.

You've heard of dinosaur-shaped frozen chicken nuggets. Now, get ready for dino ribs. These huge cuts come from the steer's plate primal section and totally dwarf baby back and short ribs (think 8-12 inches long and two pounds per individual rib). They're the beefy equivalent of the comically large, handheld turkey legs of stereotypical Medieval table spreads. On the palate, dino ribs are rich, savory, and smoky - a profile reminiscent of brisket.

If you've ever added Coca-Cola to your rib recipe (like in these three-ingredient crockpot ribs), ginger ale works in a very similar way, but it actually has even more of an advantage due to an enzyme called zingibain. Found in raw ginger, zingibain is excellent at breaking down collagen, which helps tenderize meat. This, along with the citric acid in the soda, works to soften any tough muscle fibers, leading to a fall-off-the bone texture.
