Easy Techniques For Grilling
Chicken Breast
Throwing meat on the grill is a favorite cooking method for anyone having a get
together. And with
the trend moving toward eating healthier, most people want to
have options to grilling steaks and burgers. With these simple techniques for
grilling chicken breast you can have a delicious alternative to heavy red meat.
You want to make sure the meat you're working with is nice and clean. Run the
breasts under cold water then pat dry with a paper towel. Using a fork, pierce
the breast all over, both sides. This will be crucial for the next step.
Once your breast is pierced all over, drop it in your favorite marinade. For a
lighter option, use olive oil mixed with your favorite seasoning. The oil will
add flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the meat. And the piercing
will let the seasonings permeate the entirety of the breast for even flavor
throughout.
Your meat needs to marinate for at least twenty minutes, but remember if using a
vinegar-based marinade not to let it sit longer than an hour. Vinegar will start
to make the meat break down and if you let it sit too long it will turn your
meat bad. Proper marinating time is maybe the most important of the techniques
for grilling chicken breasts because that's where your flavor is coming from.
Now, heat up your grill to medium-high heat. Don't forget to coat the grates so
the chicken doesn't stick. Then toss your chicken breasts on the grill. They
only need to cook for six or seven minutes on each side. Any longer and your
delicious meat will be bone dry. Because it cooks so fast, you're also going to
want to keep an eye on the food while it is grilling.
If you aren't sure if your meat is done, slice it through the center with a
knife. As long as it's not pink inside, it is done. Remove from the grill and
serve with your favorite sides. Use these easy techniques for grilling chicken
breast and you'll have a delicious meal in no time.
