simple chicken recipes

It's not just the different grilling recipes and marinades that I like most about grilling. It's also the aspect of cooking outside where in you can move around and make a mess without getting yelled at. If you have not tried grilling, you should, it's a lot of fun and the food is delicious.

There are many cooking methods, here are some tips on how to make your meals rise up and taste great.

* Meat should be refrigerated immediately when you get home, in the coldest part of the refrigerator or in the meat compartment.

* For maximum safety, thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator.

* Chicken should be well-done. If you don't want to take the usual time it takes, cook your chicken partially in the microwave and then finish it on the grill.

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

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

* If flare-ups occur, remove the food for a few moments and sprinkle water lightly over the flames, or smother them by covering the grill.

* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.
