Jeff Mauro smothers chicken thighs in a tangy chipotle vinegar barbecue sauce before drizzling with a creamy, peppery Southern white sauce and topping with pickled red onions.
The Kitchen is making a week's worth of healthy, weeknight-friendly recipes, starting with Jeff Mauro's Baked Coconut Chicken with Spicy Mango Dip and Geoffrey Zakarian's Root Vegetable Lentil Stew. Chef Michael Symon joins the hosts to make his Baked Cod Shakshuka-Style, and the hosts pass the Asian Barbecue Bowl with Brown Rice Noodles piled high with pork marinated with ginger and pear, Quick Pickle Asian Slaw and Miso Carrot Ginger Dressing. Then Katie Lee makes Fusilli with Kale and Walnut Pesto, and registered dietitian and nutritionist Maya Feller drops by to walk through popular meal plans and share healthy breakfast options.
The Kitchen is grilling up the summer's best recipes, starting with Sunny Anderson's low and slow 12th District Pork Roast. Alex Guarnaschelli shares her Grilled Tomatoes with Scallions, Chives and Ricotta, and Jeff Mauro throws deli meat on the grill for his Barbecue-Lacquered Grilled Bologna on Texas Toast with Fennel Slaw. Katie Lee Biegel serves up a bright and flavorful summer side dish of Grilled Corn and Farro Salad, and special guest Kalen Allen stops by to judge the season's grilling trends. To cap things off, Geoffrey Zakarian shakes up a Spicy Pineapple Margarita for the first official sip of summer.
