I just made this chicken and the citrus salad for a small pool party and 100% was amazing. The citrus was outstanding and the chicken was so flavorful and light.
The citrus and fennel salad is just like one I used to get at B.Good. Except theirs would add avocado, goat cheese and a mint/citrus vinaigrette, plus some leafy bitter greens to the salad. And I would triple the amount of fennel and pistachios versus what you used, because I love those ingredients.
Love your content. I am struggling to believe your doctor recommended LMNT to you, however I will assume you are an honest person and tamper my skepticism. Thanks for another set of delicious recipes.
Love this easy dinner party content. The worst is when you’re running around inside and outside switching between various dishes while your guests stand around with an equal amount of guilt and hunger as the evening progresses
@Brian I started using the Non-stick spray on my BBQ before I turn it on. It allows me to get really good coverage on the grills without the potential of blowing my hand up. Once the BBQ starts coming up to temp the excess burns away leaving a very nice cooking surface. Over time the grill becomes less and less "sticky"
All of these will be made! I have a get together next week and timing was perfect. Ina Garten chocolate cake for dessert and I think people will be craving the next get together!
You’re my new favorite cooking channel 🙌🏻 You remind me so much of Antoni Porowski, another of my favs. However his recipes are a little extra for my cooking abilities 🤪 excited to try your recipes!
Made the chicken and pasta salad. Both 10/10, but next time, I'll probably cut the salt in the chicken marinade by about a third. Substituted cantaloupe/avocado salad for the citrus one. Thanks for the awesome recipes! I really enjoy your videos!
That pasta salad and chicken thighs will definitely be added to my lunch rotation. An italian-ish pasta salad with air fried chicken thighs is common lunch for me during the summer. Need food thats good cold since I dont have a way to heat food during the day. I also don't really want hot food after sweating all day.
We make a very similar orange and fennel salad. But instead of the onion and other toppings we keep it simple with just orange, fennel, and shaved parmesan. Delicious!
I think if I make this I will be so proud of myself. The citrus salad looks so appealing and summery beautiful! That BBQ chicken and pasta salad are worth trying, too. Thank you!
Hi- I went with the breast instead of thighs and added some thyme and crushed red peppers- absolutely delicious ! This is the best pasta salad recipe I’ve ever made- thanks Brian
I really enjoyed this video, and in particular that it was free from the scourge of unpleasant chewing sounds directly into the mic! Something fun I've done with similar recipes to these thighs is cut in half the zested lemons and hit them, cut-side down, on the grill for a few minutes alongside the chicken, and then squeeze the grilled-lemon juice through a strainer onto the chicken.
Loved this menu! Did it for 7/4 and everything was a hit. For the pasta salad, I’d double the broccolini (I love grilled veg) and make/use a little less vinaigrette (more than needed and tends to pool, which I find a little unplasant w leftovers). The citrus salad is inspired! Thanks, Bri!
I usually avoid grilling chicken because it is so dry. Even Sous Vide, it's not my favorite. But after about 90 minutes, I put a bunch of these on the grill and they were amazing. So friggin' great! Will be adding this to my Guy's night grilling rotation.
Your Doctor just happened to recommend the same product that was your sponsor for this video? Wow, what a coincidence !! Haha....ok bud. Great recipes though
Maille is my favorite mustard brand, though the price shock can be a lot for some folks. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, their whole grain dijon mustard gets you 90% of the way there for less than half the price. Stuff slaps.
Thank you for this amazing dinner combo! We made it this weekend. While it was a lot of chopping, it was worth it in the end for the layers of flavor and texture. We had enough for leftovers and it was excellent the next day. So delicious! Thank you!
I've got dinner guests coming over after the heat wave starts next week and wasn't sure what to serve. I'm definitely giving this menu a whirl. Thanks!
I think I’ve watched every single video on your channel once, some more than once. BMAN you took me from a very decent cook (I even work in the industry) to a proper cook with awesome technique. Also a very dope menu that I’m for sure pulling this summer. Much love ❤❤
What an elegant meal! I just love it when you give us new sauces and marinades. It will be hard to introduce a new pasta salad when everyone is stuck on your Italian Pasta Salad. Thanks Buddy.
Loving your content Brian - it feels like you always read my mind on what I was looking for. I especially love your videos that 'aggregate' meals like this video, and your previous videos on meal prepping. There's not much content out there for quality large meals/feasts, it's always videos on getting a ton of food out with suboptimal presentation (think Quang Tran) OR large feasts that aren't ideal in normal kitchens (think ChefSteps) - which aren't bad obviously!
The fennel and citrus salad is one of our new mainstays - YUM. I wonder how far ahead of time you can make the pasta salad. Could it be made day before and brought back up to room temp to serve and be good?
Interesting salad. I often make a "Ooo! Salad" - Onion, Olive & Orange - and all the dubious diners end up eating the most of it, it's so delicious and moreish.
That Maille mustard is something special! I have no problems eating it by the spoonful; then again I'm used to using some hot German mustards (usually Lowensenf, HOT) lol
Why do you not have a cookbook? Please consider making one. I've only made 2 of your recipes so far, but they were both avid hits that were devoured immediately. :D Book please!
that looks delicious. just back from Italy and that fennel is always on their salads and almost replaces dressing - just some olive oil and salt and, maybe lemon. they make a durn good salad over there.
I've never had a pasta salad I like, but I thinks its because growing up all anyone around here ever made was the standard pasta with italian seasoning style salad. This I would give a shot.
Every time you try out a the raw sauces like that time you sipped on worcestershire or now trying raw grainy mustard it's simultaneously the most professional "chef assessing the quality of ingredients to isolate the flavor characteristics" thing and the most disgusting "drinking straight up fermented achovies juice" thing ever
Definitely will be trying the pasta salad. Might be adding some buffalo mozzarella and add grilled zucchini instead of broccolini. Wish I could make the citrus fennel salad, but I’m allergic to fennel. Black olives might work instead, at least I’ve tried that combination before and loved it.
Yo Brian. Im no health nut, and i suck at being fit ;) but i do know how NOT to run. It could have just been a bad step when you were on that treadmill but i noticed you were planting your heel. if this is a habbit you gotta be killing that back with all that impact. i say it cuz i used to run with horrible form and wasn't till after a coach i learned that i didnt have to be in excrutiating pain. if your form is flawless and this was just an odd step, then all is well i just had to be Mr Opinion when you didnt even ask for it. Also, I love your channel. Its educational, fun, and i appreciate you.
Welp, add "articulating what is not fun about grilling" to the list of cooking bull's eyes you've hit for me over the past year and a half. This type of grilling actually looks enjoyable, though!
Can we have more Mediterranean recipes this summer Bri?
Yes please!!! Love this style of entertaining!
Come to Israel the food us amazing
@@avichai3615 sure! As soon as EVERYONE there has enough to eat, mate.
@@avichai3615no :) hope this helps
That citrus salad was just beautiful. Well done Chef!
"Plan on about two thighs per person..." -- yes, I've found two is indeed the ideal number of thighs for one person! 😂
And I thank you😊
Louis CK agrees, two is optimal
Yes, but I save one for lunch the next day. My local butcher has chicken thighs that look like they came from a T Rex, so exercise judgment.
The tripods of the galaxy may disagree with you. 😜

This is everything I could possibly want from a summer menu.
Aloha. Maybe copious amounts of dry rose and some key lime pie?
I just made this chicken and the citrus salad for a small pool party and 100% was amazing. The citrus was outstanding and the chicken was so flavorful and light.
One of my top three fave cooking channels. It’s modern, straightforward, no fuss. Bravo.
Made a sourdough starter and baked my first bread yesterday! Today I toasted some seeds, and will be baking the seeded version tomorrow.
Find some yogurt, olive oil and milk pita bread recipes..amazing soft, simple, they freeze well, plus they are great summery finger foods..
This video has years and years of learning by trial and error. Gosh I wish I saw this 10 years ago. It’s so elevated and excellent. Thank you!
The citrus and fennel salad would be amazing with Lox!
Or crabmeat or poached shrimp or lobster? Yum.
I thought the grapefruit was Lox initially :)
@@AnExPorSame! Was just about to say. Haha
The citrus and fennel salad is just like one I used to get at B.Good. Except theirs would add avocado, goat cheese and a mint/citrus vinaigrette, plus some leafy bitter greens to the salad.

I like when you come up with your own recipes
Love this easy dinner party content. The worst is when you’re running around inside and outside switching between various dishes while your guests stand around with an equal amount of guilt and hunger as the evening progresses
I don't love anyone enough to prep that much citrus like that 😂
Brian, these recipes look delicious. Is it possible to show a few more of these easy and light meals for the summer? Thanks!
Bro is DEVIOUS using the mandoline that confidently
It scared me to death.
As someone who cut his finger on one of those things...same. Had to apply an actual bandage because the bleeding wouldn't stop.
Brian uses the Japanese one too, with the crazy sharp blade 😬
Recommend wearing no-slicy gloves for a better "no chop finger off" experience
I love how “Bri eats straight ingredients he shouldn’t have” is becoming a recurring subplot.
Need a montage
I often eat straight mustard. It’s like getting a whammo of wasabi and if you can stand the pain it goes away quickly.
We did just the chicken last night, and the marinade is game-changing. Hubby watched the grilling section to up his game a bit. Thank you!
Had a summer dinner party for 8px on Saturday night & the recipes were a great hit. Lots of compliments. Thank you Brian!
This grilled chicken recipe is now my go-to for when I have guests over. It's a very low-stress way to cook and always turns out perfect. Thanks Bri!
I love how colorful it is! The Greeks really know how to live it up with food.
I’m convinced the only people who really like fennel are chefs.
I love fennel...use it all the time!
Fennel seeds are awesome in bolognese sauce, sausages, and topping pizza.
I love the stuff. Does that make me a chef?
I always have to follow a recipe with fennel. Just doesn’t seem to come naturally.

Loved the style of these recipes. I very much appreciate the simple and delicious, the healthy is a bonus but not necessary.

Made the chicken and pasta salad tonight - paired it with a wine I brought back from Spain. This was an amazing meal! Keep them coming please!
I made the entire menu tonight for dinner so good! I love having an entire meal. It took less than 90 minutes.
Which of these did you like best?

Great recipes that I can’t wait to try. I miss your dancing at the end! 😊

I love pasta salad so much!! Cannot wait to try your recipe
That spoonful of mustard looked so yummy - - LOOKED
Love Mediterranean cuisine so much, it’s light, healthy and delicious! Now do branzino and swordfish. Would love your take 😁
Maille is my favorite mustard brand, though the price shock can be a lot for some folks. If you have a Trader Joe's in your area, their whole grain dijon mustard gets you 90% of the way there for less than half the price. Stuff slaps.
TJ's is the bomb!
Trader Joe’s Dijon is also a fantastic mustard.
@@tinyfishhobby3138 TJ's Dijon is like twice as spicy/pungent as other brands of Dijon. Its too much for me.
Aloha, and I agree.
@@TheGreektrojan That's actually why I love it lol.
Thank you for this amazing dinner combo! We made it this weekend. While it was a lot of chopping, it was worth it in the end for the layers of flavor and texture. We had enough for leftovers and it was excellent the next day. So delicious! Thank you!
Would love to see a Naan bread recipe from you, Brian. I’ve tried a few things and the breads + pizza doughs have been so fun and tasty.
I've got dinner guests coming over after the heat wave starts next week and wasn't sure what to serve. I'm definitely giving this menu a whirl. Thanks!
let me know how it goes!
I think I’ve watched every single video on your channel once, some more than once. BMAN you took me from a very decent cook (I even work in the industry) to a proper cook with awesome technique. Also a very dope menu that I’m for sure pulling this summer. Much love ❤❤
Nailed it. Easy to produce.
i spray my clean grill grate with oil, too. Super handy instant non-stick.
Nice, but to many ingredients I don't have, but it looks great!
All the citrus peels and core could probably be a nice addition to fizzy water or the white wine you talk about 🤔
Awesome!!! Made for my husbands boss and all three were a huge hit!!!! Chicken THIGHS are king and you are making them sexy again! Thanks!
What an elegant meal! I just love it when you give us new sauces and marinades. It will be hard to introduce a new pasta salad when everyone is stuck on your Italian Pasta Salad. Thanks Buddy.

Since I do not like grapefruit I would replace that with blood oranges or tangerines or maybe peaches.
Interesting salad. I often make a "Ooo! Salad" - Onion, Olive & Orange - and all the dubious diners end up eating the most of it, it's so delicious and moreish.
You can also wet the onion/shallot and put it the the freezer for at least 10 minutes before diceing
Yes please more summer recipes! Thank you!
+1 for the Barkley hat. Always great to see creators I like supporting each other!
That Maille mustard is something special! I have no problems eating it by the spoonful; then again I'm used to using some hot German mustards (usually Lowensenf, HOT) lol
Dig the dinner party concept, more please!

Thanks for this recipe idea. No way I’d be able to come up with these recipes. All the best!.
« Il n’y a que maille qui m’aille » was that mustard slogan basically « only maille suits me » Brian seems to agreee ^^
Excellent recipes as always!
yum - looks like my weekend BBQ plans!
Yeeessssss love Mediterranean. Thanks!

Looks awesome, especially the salad! This will be our saturday menu for sure
At room temperature B. cereus grows fast in the pasta salad
That salad is GORGEOUS. It's on the menu.
You dont miss, especially with the summer grill recipes. Also, I see you with the Internet Shaq Barkley hat
Every time you try out a the raw sauces like that time you sipped on worcestershire or now trying raw grainy mustard it's simultaneously the most professional "chef assessing the quality of ingredients to isolate the flavor characteristics" thing and the most disgusting "drinking straight up fermented achovies juice" thing ever

Wish I could make the citrus fennel salad, but I’m allergic to fennel. Black olives might work instead, at least I’ve tried that combination before and loved it.
More of these hosting recipes please!
Again, the video seems like it was catered to my specific life situation
Love the Barkley hat
I'm watching this even tho I have no friends to host lol
What a beautiful meal!!!
Can't wait to try this one, looks delicious
You should do a fennel, coriander and black pepper crusted tuna serve that citrus salad on the side.
