Chicken is our nations most popular meat however when it comes to the barbecue it's probably less popular because people are more concerned to ensure that the meat is properly cooked. I've known some even to pre-cook chicken in the microwave first but this really isn't necessary.
Here are some cooking and buying tips to get you started:
* Marinating gives flavors to your meat, it is composed of seasoning, acid and oil.
* If flare-ups occur, remove the food for a few moments and sprinkle water lightly over the flames, or smother them by covering the grill.
* 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.
* It is better to marinate meat with a big surface area because it can easily absorb the marinade.
* Prepare the fire a half hour or more before grilling.
* If you are cooking steaks you want the grill to be super hot so that you sear the steak on both sides to lock in the juices, then keep flipping your steaks a couple of times until they are done.
