easy chicken recipes

Most grilling experts would probably agree that there is an art and science to becoming a true grilling guru. While some decisions like whether to use a charcoal or gas grill are a matter of personal preference, understanding the finer points of food preparation over open flames comes only from education. Getting to know the grill, as well as learning how to use the heat and create different flavors, will make this grilling season the most enjoyable yet.

For you to perfectly grill a chicken, here are some tips for you to try when grilling marinated chicken.

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

* Figure out how much food and drink you'll need for the number of people you have invited.

* Chicken should be well-done. If you don't want to take the usual time it takes, cook your chicken partially in the microwave and then finish it on the grill.

* Prepare the fire a half hour or more before grilling.

* 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.

* Keep your grill rack high off the heat, so flare ups don't reach the meat

* Turn chicken frequently, about every 5 minutes to insure even doneness and to prevent blistering.
