Answers:
? Marinate poultry pieces 30 to 60 minutes!.
? If using tomato-based BBQ sauce, brush on during last 5 minutes of cooking to prevent burning the sauce!.
? Grill chicken over direct medium heat!.
? An internal temperature for breast meat of 170° F and 180° F for legs and thighs is preferred!.
? Estimate about 7 minutes per side for boneless breasts, bone-in legs about 20 minutes per side!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Skinless chicken tin to dry out on the grill if you cook them to long!. The way I do mine is I get my grill hot on high , then I sear them!. That will hold the juices in!. Then I turn the grill on low and finish cooking them!. I just let them cook for about 15 min!. on each side then take a fork and stick it to see if any blood comes out!. If not they need a little more cooking !. But watch close so you don't over cook!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
just heat up the grill to normal heat!. marinate or season the chicken as desired!. place a layer of foil on top of the grill and the chicken on top of that!. leave them on the grill for about 5 minutes then flip them!. check them regularily and they are done when there is no pink-ish colour in the chicken!. so i guess!.!.!. bon apitite!? lolWww@FoodAQ@Com
Firstly make sure the fillets are even THICKNESS, this is so important for even cooking!. Brush olive oil with cracked black pepper and sea salt onto BOTH sides!. take 7 minutes top on a high heat!. let rest a minute, so juices so flowing too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
