The most challenging thing with cooking chicken is to make sure that it is cooked right through, with a nice crispy outside. Uncooked chicken is not a good thing.
These easy tips should give confidence to prepare chicken dinners at home. Chicken is a delicious source of protein and should be included regularly in a healthy diet.
* 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.
* If the heat is too intense, move food from hot spots, which are usually found in the center of the grill, to the cooler areas around the edge.
* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.
* 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.
* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to make sure all meats are cooked thoroughly.
