Grilled Chicken Expert Tips

• Hot Grill – Make sure your grill is hot. Cooking chicken on a hot grill helps to keep them juicy.
• Same Size Chicken – When preparing your chicken, make sure that they are all even thickness. This makes sure they are evenly cooked.
• Allow Chicken to rest – After chicken is done cooking, make sure you allow chicken to rest. This locks in the juices and the flavoring. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is thoroughly cook instead of slicing chicken.
