Chicken Grill Recipes

Below are my chicken grill recipes for your grilling pleasure. Once you get beyond the basics and classics of grilling like steak and burgers, chicken is a good place to start to explore. The mild, neutral flavor of most chicken lends itself beautifully to various seasoning and flavoring ideas. Home or special outdoor dinner, chicken wings are a delight for every meal.

A couple tips on grilling chicken: Probably the biggest mistake people make with any grilled chicken recipe is over cooking. Chicken can get dried out quickly if you cook too long or too hot. The problem is, people know that you shouldn’t undercook chicken because of the risk of salmonella. While this is true, you should just cook the chicken enough, not burn it to death, because it will be much more flavorful, juicy and tender. Overcooked poultry is dry and icky, don’t do that to your guests! So how do you know? When is the chicken done?

With experience you’ll be able to tell by the appearance and feel of your bird as you cook these chicken grill recipes. But for beginners and intermediates, try a couple easy “cheats” to know if your chicken is done. Do Not cut the breast wide open to see if the middle is done. Besides just looking bad this releases tons of juices from the middle of the meat, further drying it out. Instead, invest in a good quality meat thermometer. Ideally, get one with a probe that can be left in the meat while it cooks. This way you have a constant reading and can take the chicken off as soon as it reaches safe temperature, no later. If you don’t have the probe type of thermometer, only start testing when you think you are close to done. Each time you poke the meat you release juices, drying it out. If all else fails and you don’t have a meat thermometer, poke the thickest part of the meat with a large fork. The juices that run out should be clear, not bloody or pink.
