America's Test Kitchen (2001)

Episode Overview

In this episode, we explore the optimal techniques for grilling succulent shrimp and preparing chicken that’s perfect for picnics. Grilling adds an unbeatable smoky flavor to dishes, making it a favorite as the weather heats up. While classic meats like steaks and burgers are easy to grill, shrimp present a unique challenge due to the grill's intense heat. We aim to discover the ideal method for grilling shrimp that results in tender, juicy bites without the hassle of cooking them in shells, which can be messy and waste the flavorful rub. Additionally, cold barbecued chicken is a summer staple, but it often turns dry and the skin can become unappetizing once chilled. Our goal is to ensure the chicken remains moist and flavorful while being easy to eat, eliminating the need for utensils and sticky hands.
