How to Grill Chicken

Grilled chicken is a staple of backyard barbecues and a favorite for many people. However, grilling chicken can be a bit tricky, as it's easy to overcook or undercook the meat. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to grill chicken perfectly every time.

How to grill perfect chicken every time

• Choose the right type of chicken - Before you start grilling, it's important to choose the right type of chicken. You can use either bone-in or boneless chicken, but keep in mind that bone-in chicken will take longer to cook. If you're using boneless chicken, make sure to choose pieces that are of equal size so they cook evenly. For this article, we will focus on boneless chicken breasts.
• Preheat your grill - Preheating your grill is an essential step to ensure even cooking. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, which is around 375-400°F. This temperature will help to sear the chicken, creating that delicious crust on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender.
• Seasoning for grilled chicken - Before placing the chicken on the grill, you need to prepare it properly. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, or your preferred seasoning blend, such as Spellbound, Spellbound Hot, Sweet Heat, or Signature, and let it rest at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This will help the seasoning stick and the chicken cook more evenly.
• Oil the grill grates - To prevent the chicken from sticking to the grill, oil the grill grates. Use a paper towel or brush to lightly coat the grates with vegetable or canola oil.
• Grill the chicken - Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side. Avoid moving the chicken too much, as this can cause it to stick to the grates or cook unevenly. You can check the temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer, making sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• Rest the chicken - Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.
• Serve and enjoy - Finally, it's time to serve and enjoy your perfectly grilled chicken. You can pair it with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mac and cheese, or even a salad.

In conclusion, grilling chicken can be an easy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile protein. By following these steps, you can ensure that your grilled chicken turns out perfectly every time. Put some smiles on the faces of your friends and loved one, and make your neighbors jealous with some grilled chicken this weekend!

Happy Grilling!
