chicken enchilada recipes

We all tend to have a few recipes that are our favorites to prepare on the grill, the ones we know are going to turn out nearly perfect every time. But part of the fun of grilling is trying new things and finding new dishes, flavors and cooking techniques to use with the grill or the smoker unit.

Chicken is not only healthy but tasty as well. Most people think that preparing a chicken meal is difficult. Using chicken as a main ingredient in a dish is not complicated.

I will give here some tips that would be helpful when you will be cooking and BBQ'ing chicken.

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

* If the heat is too intense, move food from hot spots, which are usually found in the center of the grill, to the cooler areas around the edge.

* Marinades boost flavor in grilled food.

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

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

* To decrease heat, raise the cooking grid or sprinkle coals with a little water.

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