    Mustard is my personal go to or a little hot and mustard mixed,but olive oil and water are fine also,when your cooking do what you want , it's not going to be a bad outcome as long as you cook them to temp and let rest .

    That was a fun video, thanks fellas! I've been happy with water or worcestershire sauce for the past few years, but I look forward to giving mustard a try. On a slightly related note, I've been using ponzu sauce as a binder on grilled or broiled fish lately for various rubs (e.g. blackened seasoning, Magic Salmon Seasoning, etc.) and I've been super-happy with the flavor enhancement - including the citrus kick.

    • @BehindTheFoodTV
      @BehindTheFoodTV  Рік тому

      Hi Michael! Ponzu sauce sounds like it could be a cool binder on fish. I've been experimenting with using pineapple juice as a binder on salmon but the acid content has been too high - I will have to try ponzu. Thanks for the tip!

  • @victorbenner539

    New line with the grill gun? How bout "come on baby light my fire" 🔥 from the Doors. As to the binder, I believe it depends greatly on how much rub your applying. Light rub, there's no need. Heavy rub, yuppers you need a little help keeping it all on the meat. I season lightly, I want to inhance the meat flavor, not overpower it. So I rarely use a binder. But I agree with Harry about using Worcester sauce. I believe it applies more evenly and therefore more forgiving. But like I say"there are a great many paths to the same destination ". Al have a great day 🌤 😀.

  • @markplacker5651
    @markplacker5651 3 місяці тому

    Well.....with chicken the binder matters. Mayo is choice because it does serve a purpose. It developed great color,it realy helps crisping up the skin ,and it (being thick) will eliminate the need to baste or spray the bird every 30 minutes lol. Plus. Mixing the seasoning of your choice into the mayo ,will help a nice even coating of seasoning when you slather it on. Perfect in an oilless fryer like the big easy. I recomend it above others. And to mix it up a bit ,adding some of that popcorn oil,or bacon grease to the seasoned mayo is next level....

    That is a good experiment. It also depends on the amount and thickness of the binder coating used. Whenever I use mustard, I dilute it with pickle juice, so I don't taste any mustard.
    Next time I will compare a diluted thin coat, vs a bit heavier undiluted coat of mustard..
