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.
Remember these easy tips with buying and cooking chicken...
* 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.
* 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.
* For maximum safety, thaw frozen chicken in the refrigerator.
* 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.
* Before you can really serve up a tasty poultry dish the right way, you need a few tips for grilling chicken.
* 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.
