How do I grill chicken?

Grilling chicken is very easy to do! Make sure you take the time to marinate your chicken to prevent it from being tough, clean the grill grates well and lightly oil the grates right before adding the chicken. Overcooked chicken can be very dry, so use a thermometer during the final minutes of cooking time and remove the chicken from the heat as soon as it reaches 165° degrees. If you don't feel like firing up the grill, sear the chicken in a touch of oil in a skillet or grill pan. Then, transfer to a 375-degree oven for basting and baking.
