Grilled Chicken

Simple Indoor Grilled Chicken Recipe

Outdoor grilling can be a lot of fun but sometimes it is not possible. If the weather is bad, you can grill delicious recipes on an indoor grill.

An indoor grill is good for just about anything that you can grill outdoors, so if you like spicy grilled chicken recipes, hot dogs, fish, vegetables, hamburgers and more, you might want to invest in an indoor grill.

There are various types of indoor grills, you can get contact grills with heated lids, and bottom plates, meaning you can cook your food on both sides at once. Other grills are open and have a large cooking surface. Removable cooking plates are important because this makes cleanup easy.

If you have a big family or you like to have people over, choose a grill with a big cooking surface so you can cook enough food at once.

How Long Does Chicken Take to Grill?
Cook boneless chicken pieces for about five minutes per side over a high heat, for the best results. When the outside is golden brown and there is no pink in the center of the chicken, it is done. Obviously thicker chicken pieces will take longer to cook. You can grill plain chicken pieces or use a rub or marinade to add extra flavor.

Check the internal temperature of the cooked chicken if you have a meat thermometer. Chicken should be 165 degrees F in the center, in order to be safe to eat. If not, give the chicken a bit longer on the grill.

Recipe for Spicy Grilled Chicken
The chicken in the following recipe marinates in a tasty, spicy marinade, and then you grill it. This is one of the most simple grilled chicken recipes and it is nice served with rice and a green salad.

You can add some extra red pepper flakes for extra spiciness if you enjoy really spicy grilled chicken recipes but be careful not to add to much because red pepper can overpower the gentler flavors in the marinade.

Ingredients:
6 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
2 crushed garlic cloves

Instructions:
Combine the lime zest, lime juice and canola oil in a bowl, then stir in the salt, red pepper, black pepper, garlic and oregano. Add the chicken breasts to this mixture, turning them a few times so they are well coated in it.

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in this mixture for an hour, turning them a couple of times. Preheat the grill to medium high and oil the cooking plate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it for about 7 minutes per side or until the outside is golden brown and the juices from the center run clear.

Tips On Making Grilled Chicken

If you’ve ever grilled chicken, you may be familiar with some of the common issues that can keep you from preparing perfectly grilled chicken. Many of us have eaten or prepared chicken pieces that end up rubbery, dry and even burned. Combat charred skin, dryness, raw meat and lack of flavor with some of these chicken grilling tips. Grilling the chicken at very high heat, very quickly can create a “crust” around the chicken and seal in moisture. But there are other techniques you can employ.

Choosing Your Chicken
The advantage of grilling various chicken parts is that all your guests can select the piece they want. The issue is grilling all the different pieces to perfection so that everyone is satisfied. You can easily grill legs, breasts, wings and thighs, just keep in mind they require different cooking times. Always a good idea to grill the chicken for several minutes, flip, continue grilling until cooked through, glaze with barbeque sauce and serve.

Preparing The Marinade
You should think about what kind of flavor you want from your chicken before you begin grilling. Plan what flavors you want to stand out. An easy way to add flavor would be to rub on some quality poultry seasoning onto the chicken during preparation, grill the chicken until cooked through and only apply barbecue sauce as the chicken finishes cooking to avoid the sugars in the sauce from burning. Allow the chicken to sit in the marinade for up to an hour at room temperature or even 24 hours in the fridge. Some good combinations for marinades would include onion, lime juice, and cilantro; cayenne, cumin, coriander, cilantro, and yogurt; garlic, ginger and soy sauce; or olive oil and garlic.

Keep Chicken Moist
Keep your chicken moist by creating a pouch out of aluminum foil. Add in your preferred vegetables and 2 ice cubes along with the chicken in the foil pouch. Seal the pouch closed, and cook the chicken over indirect heat for 10-15 minutes before removing from the foil and finishing over direct heat to brown the skin and glaze with sauce. A similar method is to parboil your chicken. Prior to grilling the chicken, you might want to parboil it first. This is referred to as precooking the chicken to prepare for later grilling. For boneless chicken, you have to cook it in liquid over medium heat for 10 minutes. Parboiling insures the chicken is cooked through without losing moisture. Time on the grill is lessened significantly.

Try Indirect Cooking
While you can cook chicken over direct heat, the chance of your chicken burning increases greatly. If you elect the direct method, or placing the chicken directly over the coals, do not leave the chicken unattended for any longer than a minute or two, and be prepared to put out flare-ups and move chicken quickly away from flames.

The indirect method places the chicken pieces on to the side of the grill so that they avoid the intense, direct heat. Only towards the end of their cooking time should you transfer the pieces over direct heat, Apply barbeque sauce and finish the chicken with a nice, caramelized char.

Checking Your Grilled Chicken
Under-cooked grilled chicken with some raw portions is not safe to eat. Chicken pieces with the bones intact are cooked when juices run clear. Simply use a fork, knife or skewer to check.
