FAQ

How do you keep chicken breast moist while grilling?

The oil dissolves and releases more fat-soluble flavor compounds in the seasoning for better tasting meat. Oil also provides a protective layer on the dried spices to reduce the amount of burning. I like to use olive oil or avocado oil to oil the chicken before grilling.

How do you grill large chicken breasts without drying them out?

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.

Can you put marinated chicken directly on the grill?

For the chicken breasts to absorb enough moisture to better withstand the heat of the grill without drying out, all it takes is 30 minutes in a simple brine solution of 1/4 cup kosher salt dissolved in 4 cups water.
