Submit Your Questions for the 5/29 Mid-Week Mailbag

I feel like I can just about prepare an entire meal on a grill, but I suck at grilling chicken breasts. They are either underdone (no bueno) or overdone about every time. To my defense, I much prefer boneless skinless thighs, so it doesn't affect me much.

What food is your undoing?
 
Why do so many people think this is a thread in which to discuss their own answers to the questions we are giving Fitzy? Do they really think the world is just waiting for their opinions?

It might be appropriate to do another "Hot Takes" edition of the mailbag for take judging sometime soon.
 
Does the tradition of a DE wearing Coach Bray's number 58 continue this year and if so who do you think will wear it?

Everybody sucks at grilling boneless, skinless chicken breast because grilled boneless, skinless chicken breasts suck. Sure, if I'm really hungry and absolutely nail the marinating/seasoning and grilling they're not too bad. But at the same time I can do a complete half-ass job cutting it up, breading and frying it and it's glorious. My wife makes sure the grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast is a family staple for health reasons. I always imagine the old Sci-Fi books that include a futuristic world with some colorless, flavorless foodstuff that everyone gets for perfect nutrition. You know grilled chicken breast has to be a major ingredient.

It's not terrible, but of all the wonderful meat options this glorious first world life avails us, why anyone would crave a grilled chicken breast escapes me.

Thanks ***-guy.

A short WORK week. I was just giving Fitzy **** for being late last week. He has an excuse this week because midweek between Tuesday and Friday is later than between Monday and Friday.

Marinating is definitely a key point, I've also found if you tenderize/pound them out so they are an even thickness, helps a lot with getting them cooked evenly and taste worth while. I would agree, hind quarters or the whole chicken are my preferred cuts.

Anywoo, when you starting up that next game of mafia Fitzy?

Marinate for at least a couple of hours. I finally got this right about a year ago. Using a BBQ sauce or something else as a glaze helps retain the juiciness too. Of course, this generally eliminates the healthy benefits of grilled chicken.
