A grill guru's best barbecued chicken
Some cooks think that violating a chicken with a beer can is the best route to a juicy bird. Not so for chef Adam Perry Lang, whose new book, BBQ 25, teaches you how to cook like a pro in your own backyard. To perfect his barbecued chicken, Perry Lang brines and butterflies the bird: Maximum contact with the grill results in crispy, burnished skin, and the herb-laced brine keeps the meat juicy while also adding a subtle depth of flavor. Serve it for Father's Day dinner--or give Dad the book and let him do the work.
