tyson chicken recipes

It's not just the different grilling recipes and marinades that I like most about grilling. It's also the aspect of cooking outside where in you can move around and make a mess without getting yelled at. If you have not tried grilling, you should, it's a lot of fun and the food is delicious.

Here is a list of quick tips:

* Be sure all utensils, plates, and cooking surfaces are clean, and your hands are washed well before and after handling raw chicken.

* Chicken should be well-done. If you don't want to take the usual time it takes, cook your chicken partially in the microwave and then finish it on the grill.

* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.

* Start with chicken that has been trimmed of excess fat and remember to baste carefully so oil won't drip onto the coals and cause flare ups.

* For maximum safety, thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator.

* Try the gentle sweetness of basil and thyme, which are especially good with chicken.

Here are some cooking and buying tips to get you started:

great lemon chicken recipes

The chief problem with chicken is that, like turkey, it has two distinctively different kinds of meat. The white meat breasts and the dark meat thighs and legs need to be cooked differently. To keep the breast meat moist and tender it needs to be cooked over a lower fire than the rest which needs to be cooked more. At the same time you want to get that grilled sear to give the chicken pieces that authentic grilled flavor.

Some tips for you:

* Never place cooked meat on a platter that held raw meat.

* Add flavor by scattering dried herb clippings, both sprigs and whole stems, over the coals.

* Minimize fat drips into the grill, which causes flare ups.

* Never re-use marinades that have come in contact with raw chicken.

* Start with a clean grill. Removing old ashes assures good air circulation, and cleaning away any cooked- on bits of food results in better flavor and quality.

* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.

special chicken recipes

Grilling and broiling are very similar methods of cooking chicken. They both use a dry heat that quickly cooks the surface and then slowly moves to the middle of the meat. The main difference between the two methods is that grilling applies the heat to the bottom surface of the chicken, and broiling applies the heat to the top surface. Also, grilling infuses the chicken with a smoky flavor from the meat juices that drip during the grilling process. When broiling, this infusion of flavor does not occur.

Check out some tips below:

* Before you get ready to grill, marinade your steaks for at least a few hours.

* In order to keep your chicken moist you can baste it constantly over a slow heat with apple juice.

* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.

* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.

* Check the temperature of the fire before cooking food to prevent over- or under-cooking.

orange chicken recipes

One of the best kept secrets of barbequing chicken is to lower the heat and wait until it's almost completely cooked before adding any sauces. In this way the chicken is moist and tender with a pleasant smoky flavor. This also prevents fire flare ups because the sauce is generally the actual culprit of these flare ups. It's the sugar in the sauce that causes the burning. When you put it on near the end of the cooking time, it won't burn.

Below are some tips for you to remember...

* Allow food to thaw to room temperature before grilling for added tenderness and flavor, but don't let food sit un-refrigerated longer than 20 to 30 minutes to prevent bacteria growth.

* It is not advisable that you use wine on grilling marinated chicken.

* Never place cooked meat on a platter that held raw meat.

* It is better to marinate meat with a big surface area because it can easily absorb the marinade.

* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.

* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.

mesquite smoked chicken recipes

Direct grilling can be done with the cover up or down. When the grill cover is closed the grill begins to mimic an oven and reflected heat, as well as the heat from the fire cooks the foods. The closed cover lowers the temperature inside the grill by decreasing the oxygen supply to the fire allowing larger foods, such as roasts and bone-in poultry to cook more slowly. It also imparts a smoky flavor.

If you want to make a name for yourself as the local neighborhood grill master, here are some great tips for you to follow:

* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.

* If you have a hard time in telling whether your chicken is almost cooked, you could purchase a meat thermometer.

* Minimize fat drips into the grill, which causes flare ups.

* If you are still cooking with charcoals make sure you should light the coals at least half and hour before so that they have time to get hot enough.

* Be sure racks are clean and coat them with vegetable oil or a nonstick vegetable oil spray to help prevent sticking.

* To speed grilling or broiling time, partially cook the chicken in the microwave first.
