If you are grilling other items along with the meat, make sure they do not come in contact with the meat while it is in a raw state. Give the meat and the other items their own separate zones on the grill. Use separate tongs or spatulas to handle these items. When the meat is ready to be removed from the grill, put it on a fresh, or freshly washed, platter and use a fresh set of tongs or spatulas to handle it. Make sure you wash all utensils, cutting boards and your counter tops after they have come in contact with raw meat or poultry.
With all of these handy tips, perfectly grilled chicken is right around the corner.
* 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.
* It is also important to refrigerate leftovers from grilling promptly. Don't leave them on the counter top, at room temperature, for very long after you have finished eating.
* Figure out how much food and drink you'll need for the number of people you have invited.
* Wait until the chicken is tender and moist before adding any sauces.
* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.
* It is always preferred to use low fire in grilling in order to avoid burnt meat.
