Chicken is our nations most popular meat however when it comes to the barbecue it's probably less popular because people are more concerned to ensure that the meat is properly cooked. I've known some even to pre-cook chicken in the microwave first but this really isn't necessary.
Here are a few tips to help you get started:
* Marinating gives flavors to your meat, it is composed of seasoning, acid and oil.
* If you have a hard time in telling whether your chicken is almost cooked, you could purchase a meat thermometer.
* When grilling, aromatic woods, such as hickory, mesquite or cherry, can be added to the preheated coals to give the chicken a distinctive flavor.
* Be sure to wash everything after handling raw meat. Don't use the same plate for the cooked meat that you used for the uncooked meat unless you've washed it in between.
* 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.
* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.
