FAQ

What is the best way to grill chicken?

To grill, preheat the grill to medium-high heat, lightly oil the grates, then place the chicken skin-side down and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until grill marks start to appear, before turning it over and cooking for an additional 6–8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

What goes good with chicken on the grill?

Brining is simply immersing the chicken in a salt-water solution prior to grilling, which helps the chicken get great grill marks and prevents it from overcooking on the grill due to the increased surface moisture and sugars that brown quickly.
