blackened chicken recipes

Enjoy grilling all year round. Cook up some chicken and impress your guests. If cooking up marinated chicken, cook up some vegetables as a complement. Its fun to try different foods.

Here are some cooking and buying tips to get you started:

* Wait until the chicken is tender and moist before adding any sauces.

* 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.

* Plan your menu, but keep it simple.

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

* Start with chicken that has been trimmed of excess fat and remember to baste carefully so oil won't drip onto the coals and cause flare ups.

* Coat grate with vegetable cooking spray, or brush with cooking oil to prevent food from sticking.
