The chicken must be checked for proper doneness when using either cooking method. The best way to check doneness is to use a meat thermometer. If a meat thermometer is not available, a visual test can be performed by piercing the pieces with a fork. If thoroughly cooked, the juices should run clear. Doneness can also be checked by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken and making sure the meat is opaque all the way through.
No matter how you like to grill your chicken, we recommend the following tips to keep your grilling season safe, flavorful and fun.
* Meat should be refrigerated immediately when you get home, in the coldest part of the refrigerator or in the meat compartment.
* Plan your menu, but keep it simple.
* Wait until the chicken is tender and moist before adding any sauces.
* If flare-ups occur, remove the food for a few moments and sprinkle water lightly over the flames, or smother them by covering the grill.
* Grilling marinated chicken can really give you a perfect meal.
* Be sure all utensils, plates, and cooking surfaces are clean, and your hands are washed well before and after handling raw chicken.
* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to make sure all meats are cooked thoroughly.
