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.
It isn't hard to grill chicken, but it does take some practice. Follow these tips for grilling chicken, and expand your grilling repertoire.
* 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.
* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.
* Add flavor by scattering dried herb clippings, both sprigs and whole stems, over the coals.
* Grilling marinated chicken is good way to have a delicious meal.
* Never place cooked meat on a platter that held raw meat.
* 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.
