When grilling chicken pieces with the skin on the first thing to do to avoid flare-ups is to not pierce the meat. Remember to always use tongs when grilling chicken. Also be sure to always keep the chicken moving. Try to save space on the grill to move chicken pieces out of the fire. Move the chicken to the upper rack or off the grill completely for a minute to let the fires die down. Chicken should be cooked at a medium temperature, not at the highest temperature setting on your grill.
No matter how you like to grill your chicken, we recommend the following tips to keep your grilling season safe, flavorful and fun.
* Keep the meat refrigerated until you are ready to put it on the grill.
* If you are still cooking with charcoals make sure you should light the coals at least half and hour before so that they have time to get hot enough.
* If you're having more than a few guests, ask each one to bring a dish.
* If you are using an outdoor grill, keep children away from it and keep water handy.
* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.
* To decrease heat, raise the cooking grid or sprinkle coals with a little water.
