chicken recipes

Summer time is grilling time. Nothing tastes as good as food right off the grill. Kabobs are easy to grill and there are many versions. You can cook chicken, turkey, pork, beef, lamb, meat ball, shrimp, scallop, halibut, vegetarian, and more. Grocery stores carry many and they are very good. When you make your own marinade, however, you can adjust the seasoning to your dietary needs.

Here are some cooking and buying tips to get you started:

* It is always preferred to use low fire in grilling in order to avoid burnt meat.

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

* Without a proper fire, you can not expect great results.

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

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

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

* Never re-use marinades that have come in contact with raw chicken.
