What's the Best Way to Grill a Chicken?

What is the absolute, hands down, BEST way to grill chicken? Food editors Andy Baraghani and Jessie YuChen spent a lot of time thinking about this for a recipe story all about grilled chicken in BA's August issue. Today they join Amanda to talk about their favorite parts of the chicken, how to grill them, and what marinades, sauces, and sides to pair them with. Find out who's on Team Skin vs. Team Skinless when it comes to poultry and why the word "spatchcock" desperately needs a rebrand. Plus senior staff writer Alex Beggs joins to play a special edition of "Cook, Marry, Grill."
