The chicken must be checked for proper doneness when using either cooking method. The best way to check doneness is to use a meat thermometer. If a meat thermometer is not available, a visual test can be performed by piercing the pieces with a fork. If thoroughly cooked, the juices should run clear. Doneness can also be checked by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken and making sure the meat is opaque all the way through.
If you want to make a name for yourself as the local neighborhood grill master, here are some great tips for you to follow:
* Marinate your meats.
* Figure out how much food and drink you'll need for the number of people you have invited.
* Place smaller pieces of chicken around the outer edges, further away from the main heat source, to allow them to cook slower.
* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.
* Trim off all fat before grilling.
* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.
