easy chicken enchilada 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.

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:

* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.

* 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.

* 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.

* Turn chicken frequently, about every 5 minutes to insure even doneness and to prevent blistering.

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