grilled chicken recipes

The chicken must be checked for proper doneness when using either cooking method. The best way to check doneness is to use a meat thermometer. If a meat thermometer is not available, a visual test can be performed by piercing the pieces with a fork. If thoroughly cooked, the juices should run clear. Doneness can also be checked by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken and making sure the meat is opaque all the way through.

Here is a list of quick tips:

* Wait until the chicken is tender and moist before adding any sauces.

* Before you start grilling, clean the grill off of all impurities and lightly oil the grill. This will help keep your meet from sticking to the grill and picking up impurities.

* It is always preferred to use low fire in grilling in order to avoid burnt meat.

* Keep the meat refrigerated until you are ready to put it on the grill.

* To decrease heat, raise the cooking grid or sprinkle coals with a little water.
