recipes for chicken

Cooking with direct heat occurs when you cook the meat directly over the heat source. The chicken is cooked quickly over medium or high heat coals or over burners set to medium or high heat on a gas grill. Direct heat is used when grilling food that cooks in thirty or less minutes, such as boneless chicken breasts and chicken pieces.

Remember these easy tips with buying and cooking chicken...

* When marinating the meat, turn it several times and it is preferred to be put in the refrigerator.

* Never re-use marinades that have come in contact with raw chicken.

* 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.

* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.

* Food should be ready early so people don t have to wait for it to come off the grill.
