greek chicken recipes

Chicken is one of the first things I think about when I think of a backyard barbecue. Chicken is a really popular choice for grilling and barbecue. When prepared right, chicken is a good, healthy alternative to beef.

Cooking chicken can be easy if you know what you are doing, Here are some tips to help you cook your chicken.

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

* 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.

* If you are marinating a large size of meats, longer time is required for it to absorb the flavor.

* Do not use a fork to turn the chicken as it cooks. The piercing causes the juices to escape.

* Marinating gives flavors to your meat, it is composed of seasoning, acid and oil.

* Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to make sure all meats are cooked thoroughly.
