FAQ
How do you keep chicken juicy on the grill?
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.
How does Gordon Ramsay make grilled chicken?
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.
