mesquite smoked chicken recipes

It's not just the different grilling recipes and marinades that I like most about grilling. It's also the aspect of cooking outside where in you can move around and make a mess without getting yelled at. If you have not tried grilling, you should, it's a lot of fun and the food is delicious.

Whether it s a father s day poolside party or backyard barbecue, summertime is the perfect season for outdoor entertaining. Here are a few tips to remember:

* Add flavor by scattering dried herb clippings, both sprigs and whole stems, over the coals.

* Grilling marinated chicken is good way to have a delicious meal.

* When preparing leftovers, reheat pre-cooked meats until they are at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

* It is generally recommended to add BBQ sauce toward the last end of cooking since it is high in sugar and can burn easily.

* To prevent dryness, leave the skin on the chicken during cooking, which helps preserves the chicken's natural moisture.

* Be sure racks are clean and coat them with vegetable oil or a nonstick vegetable oil spray to help prevent sticking.
