grilled chicken recipes

When grilling or broiling, the chicken will have a tendency to dry out so it must be watched carefully during the cooking process. Coating the chicken with a little oil or marinating it will aid in preventing it from drying out while cooking. Also, the temperature at which the chicken is cooked and the distance the chicken is from the heat source are both important to tender, juicy, properly cooked chicken.

Below are some tips for you to remember...

* If you are marinating a large size of meats, longer time is required for it to absorb the flavor.

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

* Try the gentle sweetness of basil and thyme, which are especially good with chicken.

* Place smaller pieces of chicken around the outer edges, further away from the main heat source, to allow them to cook slower.
