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.
