Chicken is our nations most popular meat however when it comes to the barbecue it's probably less popular because people are more concerned to ensure that the meat is properly cooked. I've known some even to pre-cook chicken in the microwave first but this really isn't necessary.

Check out some tips below:

* Be sure to wash everything after handling raw meat. Don't use the same plate for the cooked meat that you used for the uncooked meat unless you've washed it in between.

* Minimize fat drips into the grill, which causes flare ups.

* 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.

* Without a proper fire, you can not expect great results.

* It is always preferred to use low fire in grilling in order to avoid burnt meat.

* To increase the heat, you can push coals together, add more coals or lower the grilling surface, or fan the fire and tap the ashes from the coals.

There are many ways to prepare the chicken, but usually the chicken is marinated for at least two hours. The types of marinade vary from Asian styles to Indian styles and other styles as well. I like to cook boned chicken thighs on the grill, rather than legs or wings. There is no problem cooking these pieces, only a personal preference.

With all of these handy tips, perfectly grilled chicken is right around the corner.

* Start with a clean grill. Removing old ashes assures good air circulation, and cleaning away any cooked- on bits of food results in better flavor and quality.

* Be sure all utensils, plates, and cooking surfaces are clean, and your hands are washed well before and after handling raw chicken.

* To keep the chicken moist, apply an apple juice while cooking.

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

* If you are still cooking with charcoals make sure you should light the coals at least half and hour before so that they have time to get hot enough.

* Marinate your meats.

If you are grilling other items along with the meat, make sure they do not come in contact with the meat while it is in a raw state. Give the meat and the other items their own separate zones on the grill. Use separate tongs or spatulas to handle these items. When the meat is ready to be removed from the grill, put it on a fresh, or freshly washed, platter and use a fresh set of tongs or spatulas to handle it. Make sure you wash all utensils, cutting boards and your counter tops after they have come in contact with raw meat or poultry.

Here is a list of quick tips:
