Does anyone else do this? While I was at the grocery store I picked up a meat tenderizer....The chicken breasts I picked up last night to grill were pretty thick so i used it to beat them down thin......Definitely made it easier to cook even and I think it seemed easier to slice up for salad etc.......So who else uses a meat tenderizer and who just leaves it like it is?

    Thumbs up to the title!

    But yeah I use it for steak that's usually chewy like flank or palomilla. Maybe sometimes for ribeye. Will now try it on chicken though!

    I was really quite amazed....I didn't think it would make much of a difference but I think it did.

    I use it on porkchops, beat them thin so I can roll them around asparagus, etc.

    yeah nice title!

    I dont have a meat tenderizer, but now that you mention it I might get one just to be able to beat on something when I'm having a bad day ;)

    I put my chicken breasts in a ziploc bag, bludgeon them with my old fashioned wooden rolling pin, marinate them and the put them on the grill. If they are thick they never cook evenly on the grill.

    I beat meat most of the time. Especially when it is thick.

    lol.. high five on the title! I've been beating my meat/chicken for a while now..it cooks more evenly on the grill and slices easier and wraps around asparagus nicely.

    Meat beating is illegal in my state and a punishable offense. So I stay away from it.

    Do you wrap it around and then grill it? That sounds good.
