chicken marinade recipes

For both charcoal and gas grilling, adding smoke to the meat is a fantastic way to create an authentic barbecue flavor. The most ancient and time honored method for enhancing the flavor of grilled food smoking. Do not put wood directly on burners or it will burn too quickly and leave ash in the grill.

Whether it s a father s day poolside party or backyard barbecue, summertime is the perfect season for outdoor entertaining. Here are a few tips to remember:

* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.

* Figure out how much food and drink you'll need for the number of people you have invited.

* Start with a clean grill. Removing old ashes assures good air circulation, and cleaning away any cooked- on bits of food results in better flavor and quality.

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

* Food should be ready early so people don t have to wait for it to come off the grill.

* Keep an instant read thermometer near the grill for a quick way of checking when your chicken is done.

* Be sure to wash everything after handling raw meat. Don't use the same plate for the cooked meat that you used for the uncooked meat unless you've washed it in between.
