About

Basting is a technique where a sauce or pan juices are repeatedly poured over meat while cooking, ensuring juiciness and a serious amount of flavor. Here, tangy homemade barbecue sauce is spooned over chicken breasts twice during roasting, for maximum deliciousness. A summery corn and zucchini sauté topped with fresh basil adds sweetness and crunch to this barbecue-inspired feast.
