roast 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.

Grilling season is here. You've got your grill full of gas, you've stocked up on hamburgers, hot dogs, and steaks, and you're ready to go. Chicken also makes a healthy meal, here are some tips should help you on your way to grilling great chicken.

* Marinate the chicken for an hour or up to a day, refrigerated.

* Minimize fat drips into the grill, which causes flare ups.

* When preparing leftovers, reheat pre-cooked meats until they are at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

* It is better to marinate meat with a big surface area because it can easily absorb the marinade.

* Start with chicken that has been trimmed of excess fat and remember to baste carefully so oil won't drip onto the coals and cause flare ups.

* Add flavor by scattering dried herb clippings, both sprigs and whole stems, over the coals.
