How to Cook Barbecue Chicken?

Barbecued chicken always tastes good. But is it possible to make it even tastier? Of course! With these barbecue recipes and clever tips, you'll cook chicken like a true barbecue chef!

HOW TO GRILL CHICKEN ON THE BBQ?

On the barbecue, the chicken is placed on a grid adaptable in height, placed above the lit charcoal. Because of the intense and intense heat, this is the best way for small pieces of chicken. If you want to grill larger pieces of chicken, let them cook for a while, wrapped in foil. Remove the meat from the foil and let it grill. This avoids crusting too hard and insufficient cooking inside.

Here's how to proceed:

Check that the barbecue is at a good temperature before starting grilling.

Apply a thin layer of (olive) oil to both the barbecue grill and the chicken. This will prevent your piece of chicken from sticking to the grill. During cooking you can, if necessary, still coat with a little oil.

Start on the most intense area to get a nice crust. Then move the meat to a less hot area to let it cook quietly. This technique is also suitable for larger pieces.

HOW LONG SHOULD THE CHICKEN COOK ON THE BARBECUE?

The smaller pieces of chicken should not cook for a long time. A few minutes are enough to grill them on both sides. The chicken should always be cooked properly. It is cooked when its flesh is white or detached from the bone. Five to eight minutes on each side is enough to cook a piece of chicken breast. For skewers, turn them regularly. If you still do not know clearly how long the chicken should be cooked on the Barbecue, you can use the Inkbird thermometer which can tell you when the chicken is cooked.

HOW TO PREPARE A CHICKEN IN FOIL ON THE BBQ?

Making your chicken in foil is an easy way to cook your chicken on the barbecue. The chicken in foil is particularly low fat and quickly prepared. And because all the flavors come together, you get an explosion of taste on your plate.

Take a large piece of aluminum foil (preferably three times longer than the piece of chicken you are going to cook). Make sure the matte side of the paper is facing out.

Brush the glossy side of the aluminum foil with a little oil, up to a few inches from the edge.

Then place your piece of chicken in the middle, as well as your seasonings (finely chopped vegetables or pieces of potatoes, herbs, lemon, pepper, salt ...). Add a little white wine and a little garlic butter for even more flavor.

Then fold the edges of the foil to close properly. Thus, the steam stays inside.

Place the foil on the grill and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken.

Prepare your chickens in foil in advance and save time. Keep in the refrigerator until cooked.
