    Cooking Tips for Summer Chicken Recipes

    How Long Should I Marinate Chicken?

    For the best flavor and texture, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours, depending on the recipe's specific instructions.

    Can I Grill Chicken with the Skin On?

    Yes, grilling chicken with the skin on can help retain moisture and add crispness. However, watch for flare-ups due to dripping fat.

    What Internal Temperature Should Chicken Reach?

    Chicken is safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), as measured by a meat thermometer at the thickest part.

    How Can I Prevent Chicken from Sticking to the Grill?

    To prevent sticking, ensure your grill is clean, preheated, and lightly oiled before adding the chicken.

    Is It Better to Grill Chicken Fast on High Heat or Slow on Low Heat?

    It's often best to start with high heat to sear and then reduce to medium or low to cook through without burning, especially for thicker cuts.
