chicken and bacon recipes

Chicken is one of my favorite meats to cook because it is low in fat, high in protein, and if it is cooked properly, it will definitely be a crowd pleaser. There are many different recipes for grilling and smoking chicken. I really enjoy cooking chicken and I do on a weekly basis, it is easy and tastes great.

Here is a list of quick tips:

* To speed grilling or broiling time, partially cook the chicken in the microwave first.

* To increase the heat, you can push coals together, add more coals or lower the grilling surface, or fan the fire and tap the ashes from the coals.

* Start with chicken that has been trimmed of excess fat and remember to baste carefully so oil won't drip onto the coals and cause flare ups.

* Place smaller pieces of chicken around the outer edges, further away from the main heat source, to allow them to cook slower.

* Marinate your meats.
