  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the brats from sticking to the grill and will also help them to cook evenly.
  • Cook the brats for 10-12 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the brats are cooked to a safe temperature.
  • Let the brats rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the brats, making them even more tender and flavorful.
