Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Make sure your grill is clean and hot: A clean grill will help prevent the chicken from sticking, and a hot grill will help it cook quickly and evenly.
  • Use a marinade or rub: Marinating or rubbing the chicken before grilling will help it stay moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Leave some space between the chicken pieces so they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices redistribute and make the chicken more tender.
