grilled hawaiian chicken recipes

One of the most versatile foods in the entire world is chicken. Is has been prepared thousands of ways over hundreds of years. One of the favorite ways to eat chicken is BBQ'ed. It is very simple and delicious, but people tend to get it wrong and their chicken comes out tasting all bad.

Some tips for you:

* Be sure all utensils, plates, and cooking surfaces are clean, and your hands are washed well before and after handling raw chicken.

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

* If you have a hard time in telling whether your chicken is almost cooked, you could purchase a meat thermometer.

* If the fire hasn't cooled down adequately, do not be tempted to put your chicken on to cook.

* 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.

* 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.

* Try the gentle sweetness of basil and thyme, which are especially good with chicken.
