Tips:

  • Select the right chicken: Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and tender texture.
  • Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts or thighs with a meat mallet helps tenderize them and ensures even cooking.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful blend of spices and herbs not only adds flavor but also helps keep it moist during grilling.
  • Use a hot grill: Preheat your grill to a high temperature to sear the chicken quickly and create those beautiful grill marks.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the chicken pieces enough space on the grill so that they cook evenly and don't steam.
  • Cook the chicken to the right internal temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make the spicy sauce while the chicken is grilling: This saves time and allows the flavors in the sauce to meld together.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving to let the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
