Here’s How to Grill Chicken Perfectly

One of the best and tastiest ways to cook chicken, particularly chicken breasts, is by grilling them. This is because the high heat cooks the chicken faster to maintain its moisture. Here are some tips to help you grill chicken perfectly.

Choose the Marinade

To get the most flavorful chicken, it’s best to marinate your chicken the night before you plan to grill it. A basic marinade would contain an acid, a key seasoning, a fat, a sweet element, and, of course, salt.

Make Sure Your Grill is Hot

Grills work best when they’re really, really hot. So crank the heat up and, just as you would with a skillet, heat the grill up before adding the chicken.

Make Sure the Chicken is at Room Temperature

Cold chicken breasts will end up chewy and tough when you place them on the hot grill. So it’s better to take the chicken out of the refrigerator while you heat your grill up.

Finally, Don’t Fuss With the Chicken!

When it’s time to start, just take the chicken out of the marinade and place it on your grill. Grill for about 10 minutes each side and only flip it once to make sure it comes out juicy.
