Grilled Chicken with Board DressingDanny Kim

Letting meat rest ensures juiciness. Make even better use of that time by sprinkling the cutting board with chopped herbs dressed with oil and citrus zest before setting the meat on top, a trick we picked up from chef Adam Perry Lang. The cooked protein will soak up the herbs' aroma. Flavor bonus: Drizzle the herb-infused juices over the meat before serving.
