easy chicken recipes

If you are grilling other items along with the meat, make sure they do not come in contact with the meat while it is in a raw state. Give the meat and the other items their own separate zones on the grill. Use separate tongs or spatulas to handle these items. When the meat is ready to be removed from the grill, put it on a fresh, or freshly washed, platter and use a fresh set of tongs or spatulas to handle it. Make sure you wash all utensils, cutting boards and your counter tops after they have come in contact with raw meat or poultry.

Below are some tips for you to remember...

* If you're having more than a few guests, ask each one to bring a dish.

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

* Use a meat thermometer.

* Meat should be refrigerated immediately when you get home, in the coldest part of the refrigerator or in the meat compartment.

* Start with a clean grill. Removing old ashes assures good air circulation, and cleaning away any cooked- on bits of food results in better flavor and quality.

* To prevent dryness, leave the skin on the chicken during cooking, which helps preserves the chicken's natural moisture.
