Chicken grilling is fun if done properly. One can choose from the variety of flavors which can be added to make grilled chickens mouthwatering. Starting from tomato avocado salsa to the extravagant taste of balsamic vinegar, one can pick anything and everything. One of the most delicious ways to prepare grilled chicken is in a Mexican style. Firstly, one needs to brine the chicken for some hours (just keep it overnight). Then just slip the chopped rosemary and lemon slices (use caramelized lemon slices) beneath the chicken on the grill. Isn’t it simple? The best thing about this kind of preparation is that one need wait for some time to eat it after the cooking is over.

Generally a wait time is suggested because if one cuts the chicken into pieces just after it has been cooked then the chicken tends to loose its fluids. Fluids are necessary to retain the softness of the chicken. If a chicken is hard it may give your teeth a hard time.

With a meat meter, you need not worry about slicing your chicken every time to check whether it is cooked or not. It further reduces the chances of getting an overcooked or an undercooked chicken. If your chicken is boneless, then its internal temperature should be around 170 degree F and 180 degree F in the case of chicken with bones.

Do not slice your chicken again and again to check whether it has been cooked from inside or not. Instead use a meat meter. Meat meter prevents you from this tedious job and helps in preventing the loss of moisture from the chicken. Set your meat meter at around 170 degree F for a boneless chicken and on 180 degree F if your chicken has bones. And the ones cooking on a BBQ gas grill can create wonders by just keeping in mind the numerous factors affecting the cooking time.

After the cooking, do not remove the chicken immediately from the grill. If you remove the chicken instantaneously then it might happen that the fluids may run out. Without the fluids you tend to find a chicken hard to eat. So avoid cutting it into pieces just after its grilling.
