chicken stir-fry recipes

For both charcoal and gas grilling, adding smoke to the meat is a fantastic way to create an authentic barbecue flavor. The most ancient and time honored method for enhancing the flavor of grilled food smoking. Do not put wood directly on burners or it will burn too quickly and leave ash in the grill.

Grilling season is here. You've got your grill full of gas, you've stocked up on hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks, and you're ready to go. Chicken also makes a healthy meal, here are some tips should help you on your way to grilling great chicken.

* To decrease heat, raise the cooking grid or sprinkle coals with a little water.

* 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.

* Marinating gives flavors to your meat, it is composed of seasoning, acid and oil.

* If you are marinating a large size of meats, longer time is required for it to absorb the flavor.

* 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.

* Grilling marinated chicken can really give you a perfect meal.

* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to make sure all meats are cooked thoroughly.
