4 hours agoThe Grilled Chicken Mistake That Is Costing You A Ton Of Juicy Flavor - Tasting Table
Pressing down on chicken while grilling causes loss of juices, resulting in dry, tough meat.
"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.
