Steps

- 5Finish with acid, herbs, or sauce right before serving.
Grit & Soul tip
Dark meat forgives more heat, but every chicken dinner gets better with a short rest.

18m agoThis is the kind of idea I would save for a cold Sunday. The cast iron move feels exactly right.
Grit & Soul know-how
Use the zones
Why it works
A hot side and a cooler side give you sear, control, and a place to finish without burning the outside.
Watch for
Dry the surface before it hits the grate. Moisture has to leave before browning can begin.
Make it yours
Finish with something bright: pickles, herbs, citrus, vinegar sauce, or a sharp slaw.
