It’s easy to mess up chicken – the meat dries out very easily if you’re not careful. But using the Cherry grilling plank, you’re able to keep the meat moist and juicy while also infusing it with a hint of sweetness and smokey flavor. For a fun twist on a classic BBQ dish, try out these Cherry planked BBQ chicken thighs.
