mesquite smoked chicken recipes

There is no accurate way to estimate cooking times on the grill as no two fires put out the same amount of heat. The best way to determine if your meat is done is to make a small slit in the thickest part with a sharp knife. When the center is no longer pink, it's done.

No matter how you like to grill your chicken, we recommend the following tips to keep your grilling season safe, flavorful and fun.

* To increase the heat, you can push coals together, add more coals or lower the grilling surface, or fan the fire and tap the ashes from the coals.

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

* Never re-use marinades that have come in contact with raw chicken.

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

* To speed grilling or broiling time, partially cook the chicken in the microwave first.

* Prepare your grill by rubbing it down with oil before you grill so that the meat doesn't stick to it.
