From the Test Kitchen

Late-summer weather calls for easy cooking and classic flavors, and this all-American meal delivers. To make the most of our tangy-sweet barbecue sauce, we’re coating our chicken twice—once before baking it, then again afterwards. We’re also making a sweet potato salad with a bit of marinated shallot, and quickly sautéing green beans with garlic.
