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.
Here are some tips to get the best out of your chicken.
* 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.
* Check the temperature of the fire before cooking food to prevent over- or under-cooking.
* Try the gentle sweetness of basil and thyme, which are especially good with chicken.
* Add flavor by scattering dried herb clippings, both sprigs and whole stems, over the coals.
* Prepare your grill by rubbing it down with oil before you grill so that the meat doesn't stick to it.
