Where it comes fromBreast

On the grill

Larger and even leaner than chicken breast, so it dries out just as easily but takes longer to do so noticeably. A few hours in a simple salt brine makes a real difference.

Indirect heat almost the whole way, finishing direct only briefly for colour. Pull the moment it reads 74 °C in the thickest part.

Seasoning
