recipes for marinating chicken

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 is a list of quick tips:

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

* 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.

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

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

* When meat is cooked, transfer to a clean plate or serving platter.

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