queenofstreamline Love the technique videos....the tips are really helpful 6:42 PM

Ann So happy to hear you enjoy them. Don't forget to tune in next week. 6:43 PM

Kenster instead of doing brining it the way shown in the video couldn't I just do it upside down on the beer can. 6:37 PM

Diane We have a delicious recipe for beer can chicken on bettycrocker.com. 6:39 PM

jjjb this was wonderful. I'm looking forward to using the recipes!!! 6:37 PM

Lynn Enjoy! Let your friends know about the Mixer and we'll see you next week. 6:39 PM

dkhussey It took mr a while to find the CLASSROOM key too. Can you brine the chicken and then take it out of the brine and freeze it? 6:33 PM

Lynn I have found that it works best to bake and eat the chicken right away, freezing any leftovers 6:36 PM

terabithia21 how can i tell when the boneless breasts are done - i always have trouble and end up too dry 6:26 PM

Ann The brining will be help with prevent dry chicken. Make sure not to overcook. Use medium-high heat to cook boneless skinless chicken breasts. Avoid cooking over low or medium heat because the juices will be drawn to the surface before the chicken browns. 6:35 PM

jjjb could you broil the chicken in stead of grilling it? 6:33 PM

Kim Absolutely, that's a great way to do it inside the house. 6:25 PM

bamagrandma Who knew that Betty Crocker would be such a cyber chick?!?!? 6:30 PM

bamagrandma Bravo! What fun! 6:28 PM

Diane Let us know if you have any questions. 6:30 PM

Cyeany will the brine still have a tasty effect without the beer? 6:25 PM

Kim If you use water, it will be a moist tender chicken. If you want to add something like apple juice, that will give a nice fruity note. 6:19 PM

Diane Great--I'm glad you joined us! 6:24 PM

memawpat Can you use cast iron skillets on a flat top electric stove? 6:19 PM

Kim It should be fine, it may heat a little less efficently. You should check your owners manual to be sure. 6:15 PM

bamagrandma YUM! I wish that this was smell-a-vision! 6:22 PM

Lynn Great idea, we'll work on that! 6:24 PM

Lynn Yes, scroll down your screen and you should find them below the video. There is also Recipes from the Mixer at the top of your screen. Enjoy! 6:22 PM

aseibert what was the name of that veggie? 6:13 PM

Kim Are you referring to tomatillo's? They look like a small green tomato with a parchment like husk. They can be found in major grocery stores or hispanic markets. 6:12 PM

Kumquat Could the chicken be cooked on a griddle? 6:17 PM

Diane Yes, you can cook it on the griddle. 6:21 PM

aliprovost what does the brining do? 6:19 PM

Ann Brining makes the chicken more moist and flavorful. 6:20 PM

Kumquat What was in the frying pan that was almost carmelized? 6:14 PM

Diane There was onion and garlic in the frying pan;we cooked the onion and garlic until it was tender. 6:20 PM

Erinmac321 This makes cooking look easy! Thank you! 6:16 PM

Lynn Enjoy! Hope to see you back every week! 6:19 PM

florida2010 first one I have been to! enjoying it! 6:15 PM

Lynn Welcome, hope you'll be back every week! 6:19 PM

mainemom24 Can you use regular bread crumbs instead of Panko? 6:13 PM

Lynn yes, it will be a little less crispy, but still delicious 6:18 PM

bamagrandma Can you cut back on the amount of salt? 6:14 PM

Kim No, becasue the salt and water ratio is critical optimum flavor and moisture. You can cut back on the salt in the rub. 6:09 PM

bamagrandma I am a little concerned about the salt content because of high blood pressure issues. Will it affect the outcome to cut down on the salt? 6:10 PM

Jennifer If you leave the salt out of the brine you won't get juicy chicken. The brine is drained off, so most of the salt is drained off, too. If you are concerned about salt, leave the salt out of the rub. 6:17 PM

mainemom24 is it necessary to brine AND put a rub on the chicken 6:09 PM

Diane You don't have to use both the brine and the rub. You can just brine or just do the rub. I like it with both though! 6:17 PM

Kumquat Yum, I'm getting hungry watching this. 6:11 PM

Kim Glad you are enjoying it! Come back again next week 6:07 PM

jjjb could you stuff the chicken as well? 6:11 PM

Diane For food safety reasons, we don't recommend stuffing chicken. 6:15 PM

KrazyJoe Should you rub under the skin? Or just the top of the skin? 6:06 PM

Ann You can add the rub both under and on top of the skin, it will add more flavor. 6:14 PM

KrazyJoe Do you recommend beer brining over the classic beer can chicken? If so, why? 6:10 PM

Lynn They both make really moist chicken, I love chicken made both ways 6:14 PM

123Monica Can you brine without the salt? 6:10 PM

Diane You have to have salt for the brine. 6:13 PM

aseibert does the brine hike up the calories? 6:09 PM

Lynn It does not add to the calories, just adds flavor. 6:13 PM

kannwilson I live in a rural area. Is there a substitute I can use if Panko is not available? How is it different from regular bread crumbs? 6:10 PM

Kim Panko is coarser and crispier than regular bread crumbs. You can us regular breads or try crushed up crackers. 6:04 PM

BelleNJ4 what was in the brine other tahn salt and beer? 6:07 PM

Diane There are 2 cups water and 2 cans of beer. 6:11 PM

BLS419 I am an idiot when it comes to the kitchen and this looks easy! Thanks for these classes. I love the hosts - Lori is fantastic! 6:08 PM

Lynn Glad you can join us, welcome! 6:10 PM

aseibert is this a low fat recipe? 6:07 PM

Diane It's not a low fat recipe. You could reduce the oil; also the breast is lower in fat. 6:09 PM

Mousie38 Do I have to brine 1st to use a rub? 6:07 PM

Lynn No, you can just use a rub if you'd like, but if you brine you'll have more flavor and moistness. 6:09 PM

jjjb this is really cool 6:05 PM

Diane I'm glad you like it. Let us know if you have any questions. 6:06 PM

Virg2009 Found it ! 6:03 PM
