How to Drizzle a Light Sauce on Grilled Chicken

Cook up your own light sauces to drizzle on grilled chicken at home.

Plate up a delicious meal and drizzle grilled chicken with delectable sauces using a low-cost alternative to pastry bags. There are plenty of simple tips and tricks you can use in your kitchen to cut cost and live a little more green. Whip up your favorite sauce with lemon, butter and herbs or even drizzle a simple barbecue sauce for a tasty meal that looks like it was plated in a four star restaurant.

Things You'll Need

• Plate
• Spoon
• Bowl
• Plastic zipper bag
• Scissors
• Knife
• Gravy boat

Instructions

1. Arrange grilled chicken and sides on a plate.

2. Spoon or pour the light sauce you have created into a plastic zipper bag. Hold the bag, so that all the sauce gathers in one corner over a large mixing bowl. Cut a small sliver of the corner off that the sauce is gathered in, or puncture the bag with a knife for a thinner drizzle.

3. Transfer the bag over the grilled chicken, lightly squeeze and drizzle sauce as you like. Pour excess sauce into a gravy boat for added drizzle throughout your meal.

Tips & Warnings

• If you do not care how the sauce is plated simply use a spoon and drizzle straight onto the chicken breasts from the pan or pour from a gravy boat.
