Coat with mayo
When you grill skin-on chicken, the skin protects the
meat from the heat while also basting it with fat. Go
to Oaxaca, Mexico, where mayonnaise is a cooking
staple, and you’ll see how a coating of mayo can work
similarly. Bonus: The mayonnaise also distributes
flavors, like the Mexican-inspired ones in the recipe
opposite. You can experiment with adding other
flavors to plain mayo, such as mustard and rosemary
or capers and parsley.
