Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. The bones and skin will help keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids will help to infuse it with flavor. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for even more flavor.
  • Use Heavy-Duty Foil: Make sure to use heavy-duty foil to wrap the chicken. This will help to prevent tears and leaks.
  • Cook the Chicken Properly: The cooking time for the chicken will vary depending on the size of the pieces and the temperature of your grill. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
