best barbeque chicken recipes

When cooking chicken the first thing people usually do wrong is overcook it. They leave it on the grill for way too long until there is nothing left but dehydrated meat and bone. You want to cook your chicken only to 170 degrees, never more. The idea is to let the chicken rest. Carry over heat will increase the temperature to 180 degrees, the safe point at which you can eat chicken.

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

* You'll need a nice set of utensils that are well suited for grilling.

* In order to keep your chicken moist you can baste it constantly over a slow heat with apple juice.

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

* One of the best kept secrets of barbequing chicken is to lower the heat and wait until it's almost completely cooked before adding any sauces.

* Before you get ready to grill, marinade your steaks for at least a few hours.

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

* To keep the chicken moist, apply an apple juice while cooking.
