Cooking with direct heat occurs when you cook the meat directly over the heat source. The chicken is cooked quickly over medium or high heat coals or over burners set to medium or high heat on a gas grill. Direct heat is used when grilling food that cooks in thirty or less minutes, such as boneless chicken breasts and chicken pieces.
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
* Trim off all fat before grilling.
* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.
* Never place cooked meat on a platter that held raw meat.
* If you have a hard time in telling whether your chicken is almost cooked, you could purchase a meat thermometer.
