special chicken recipes

Chicken is one of my favorite meats to cook because it is low in fat, high in protein, and if it is cooked properly, it will definitely be a crowd pleaser. There are many different recipes for grilling and smoking chicken. I really enjoy cooking chicken and I do on a weekly basis, it is easy and tastes great.

These easy tips should give confidence to prepare chicken dinners at home. Chicken is a delicious source of protein and should be included regularly in a healthy diet.

* If you have a hard time in telling whether your chicken is almost cooked, you could purchase a meat thermometer.

* Try the gentle sweetness of basil and thyme, which are especially good with chicken.

* If the fire hasn't cooled down adequately, do not be tempted to put your chicken on to cook.

* To speed grilling or broiling time, partially cook the chicken in the microwave first.

* It is not advisable that you use wine on grilling marinated chicken.

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

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