slow cooker chicken recipes

There are many ways to prepare the chicken, but usually the chicken is marinated for at least two hours. The types of marinade vary from Asian styles to Indian styles and other styles as well. I like to cook boned chicken thighs on the grill, rather than legs or wings. There is no problem cooking these pieces, only a personal preference.

Here are some easy and common sense tips about cooking chicken at home.

* It is always preferred to use low fire in grilling in order to avoid burnt meat.

* Marinate your meats.

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

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

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

* 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.

* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.
