Tips For Grilling Chicken
Recipe
Try some fast, easy, new recipes that make your favourite
grilled chicken even better.
* Coat the cooking grate lightly with vegetable spray to
keep the chicken from sticking. Prepare the fire 1/2 hour
before grilling.
* Add flavour through aromatic wood chips like hickory,
mesquite or fruitwood.
* The grill will be ready when the charcoal is about 80
percent ashy-gray. Cook chicken over a medium-hot fire.
You should be able to hold your hand a few inches above
the coals for 3 to 4 seconds.
* Turn chicken every 5 minutes to insure even cooking
and doneness.
* Cook chicken until the juices run clear. The white meat
should reach an internal temperature of 170-175 degrees.
Dark meat should reach an internal temperature of 180-185
degrees on a meat thermometer.
* Use tongs instead of a fork to turn the chicken. This
will prevent loss of juices.
* Skin on a whole chicken or parts helps prevent drying
and toughening. You can pull the skin off after the
chicken is cooked, if desired.
