By author

Grilled chicken is a favorite meal, especially during the summer. It can be tricky at times, but once you have perfected your grilling technique, there is nothing quite so good as delicious barbecued chicken. With or without sauce, it gives the chicken a wonderful smoky flavor. First, you must prepare the chicken for the grill. Choose whether you want to cook several of the same pieces (breasts, thighs, or drumsticks) or you want to grill all the different sized pieces. Cut up the pieces if you are working with a whole chicken.

Take your kitchen shears and trim off all the loose skin and large pieces of fat. Doing this will reduce the chance of flare ups that will scorch your chicken. After you have finished with the trimming, rinse the chicken well with running water. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.

Seasoning comes next. How you season will depend on the grilled chicken recipes you follow. Some people keep it simple with just salt and pepper. Others want everything in their spice cupboard.

Cooking the chicken thoroughly destroys the harmful bacteria.

How long do you cook chicken? Do you know? For a chicken to be thoroughly cooked, the internal temperature must reach a minimum of 165 degrees F.
