roast chicken recipes

Marinades offer the best of both worlds. Marinating your chicken before you grill allows your flavor to permeate the meat and it'll be moist and juicy - perfectly grilled chicken! The there are many marinades out on the market today that keep your chicken moist throughout the grilling process.

Here are some easy and common sense tips about cooking chicken at home.

* Check the temperature of the fire before cooking food to prevent over- or under-cooking.

* If you are cooking steaks you want the grill to be super hot so that you sear the steak on both sides to lock in the juices, then keep flipping your steaks a couple of times until they are done.

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

* For maximum safety, thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator.

* 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.

* If you are still cooking with charcoals make sure you should light the coals at least half and hour before so that they have time to get hot enough.
