Whats the best/simple way of grilling chicken so that it still remains juicy and not dry that its hard to eat?
If you are cooking chicken with a barbecue sauce, be careful that it doesn’t contain much sugar. Sugar burns at a relatively low temperature, so putting sweet barbecue sauce on fatty chicken skin is sure to cause charred chicken. Even if you take the skin off, the bitter flavor will still be there.
If you want to use barbecue sauce, brush it on just a few minutes before you take the chicken off of the grill. By doing this, you can have the flavor from the sauce, but you won’t risk burning the meat.
Chicken should be cooked slowly. The faster you cook it, the drier it tends to be. Using low heat for a long time will help it stay moist, and using a dry rub will give it a lot of flavor without leaving anything to burn.
Honey Barbecue Chicken6 boneless skinless chicken breasts12 tablespoons barbecue sauce6 tablespoons honey1/2 teaspoon red pepper1/2 teaspoon pepper1/2 teaspoon garlic powder1/2 teaspoon chives1. Boil the chicken in hot water for a few minutes before you place it on the grill. This will help make sure the insides are cooked before you finish it on the barbecue for the great grilled flavor.
2. Arrange the chicken breasts on the grill over medium heat. Generously baste them with barbecue sauce and honey, and sprinkle with the spices. Turn once while cooking and cook for four to five minutes on each side.
