Nothing says summer like the smell of BBQ cooking. If you want to keep it delicious and healthy, there’s nothing quite like a BBQ chicken recipe. One of the most popular cuts of chicken to cook over flames is the breast, and if you follow a few simple tips the result will be tender, juicy meat that’s the perfect accompaniment for salads and other main courses.
First of all, use a mallet or a rolling pin to pound the chicken into a single thickness. This will ensure that when you’re cooking BBQ chicken you won’t overcook some parts of the meat to ensure the rest is cooked through.
Using a good BBQ chicken breast marinade, even for just 20 minutes, is recommended. When you’re ready to cook, have two cook zones: one that’s hot, for getting those great sear marks on the chicken, and one that’s a little cooler for finishing off the cooking, so the breasts don’t dry out. Finally, let the meat rest for a couple of minutes before cutting.
Now you’ve got the tips for cooking amazing BBQ chicken recipes, here’s five to try.
