The Secret To Better Tasty Chicken Bbq Recipes

4th July, 2010 - Posted by health news - No Comments

There are many tricks to perfecting your tasty chicken bbq recipes. First, avoid piercing the meat to check if it’s done, as this will release all your precious juices into the fire and dry up your meat.

Secondly, you’ll want to keep your chicken moving around. Unlike BBQ chicken recipes, which should only be flipped once, you will want to move your chicken to upper grill racks as they brown.

Also, flatten your chicken out with a mallet and/or spatula so that the entire breast cooks at the same speed. To keep it moist, use oil or a marinade. Then cook your chicken on medium to avoid burning. For the best results, scour the Internet for the top-rated chicken BBQ recipes.

The Food Network is the most popular site for recipes, including those for barbecued chicken, garnering 21.37% of all web traffic. Many people appreciate the ability to search famous chefs’ chicken BBQ recipes.

For instance, Steve Raichlen tells you how to make his special “Beer Can Chicken With Cola Barbecue Sauce” or you can learn how to make barbecue chicken, as recommended by The Neely’s or Wolfgang Puck.

Emeril Lagasse will teach you how to grill “Asian Spicy Barbecue,” while Rachel Ray recommends her “Smoky Orange Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches.” You can also search www.foodnetwork.com by technique (like grilling or crock pot), by well-known chef, by type of meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner), by ingredient or by type of cuisine.

Another site to check for chicken BBQ recipes is none other than the top-selling BBQ sauce nationwide; the Kraft Foods USA site. One of their highest rated recipes is the Orange BBQ Chicken with Grilled Vegetables.

You should preheat your grill to medium. Next, mix 1/4 cup Kraft BBQ sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of grated orange peel and 1 tablespoon of fresh orange juice. Grill two boneless, skinless chicken breasts for three minutes per side, then brush with barbecue mixture.

Add a small zucchini cut lengthwise, a small yellow squash cut lengthwise and a medium red pepper cut into quarters, grilling chicken and veggies for 9-12 minutes. Your beef BBQ recipes will be done after the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees. Splash the grilled vegetables with Italian dressing when you’re in the final stages of cooking.

For extra zest, you can stir in 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger into the barbecue sauce. Any leftovers can be used in salads or wraps. The one caveat is that all recipes use Kraft sauce, so you’ll need to be a fan. However, you can check ratings and get a host of cooking tips to make quick and easy meals through this popular recipe site.

At www.about.com, there is a great Southern Food section with a number of chicken barbecue recipes to try. “About” is well known for having articles with grilling tips, recipes and buying guides.

Get a recipe for Tex-Mex Chicken Marinade, Spicy Marmalade Glazed Chicken, Grilled delicious BBQ chicken recipes with Goat Cheese, Grilled Citrus and Garlic Chicken or Sweet and Sour Grilled Chicken. Once the recipes come up, you can further filter the search results by: date posted, rating, photos, time to make, alphabetical order or relevancy.
