great lemon 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.

If you want to make a name for yourself as the local neighborhood grill master, here are some great tips for you to follow:

* If the heat is too intense, move food from hot spots, which are usually found in the center of the grill, to the cooler areas around the edge.

* Before you get ready to grill, marinade your steaks for at least a few hours.

* If you're having more than a few guests, ask each one to bring a dish.

* Figure out how much food and drink you'll need for the number of people you have invited.

* When preparing leftovers, reheat pre-cooked meats until they are at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

* It is better to marinate meat with a big surface area because it can easily absorb the marinade.

* Never place cooked meat on a platter that held raw meat.
