Crisp and Juicy Barbecued Chicken

Jan 30, 2007

Barbecued chicken can be a challenge. You know the scenario — burned skin and meat red at the bone. But there's a secret to cooking the chicken through and getting crispy golden brown skin that has everyone asking for seconds. It's grilling chicken pieces over indirect medium heat until juices run clear, then moving them over direct heat to crisp and colour. You can buy the chicken whole and cut it up, or opt for parts and choose any combination you like. In our Test Kitchen, thighs rule! They are meaty and taste better than white meat, and there's less risk overcooking than with breasts.
