Poultry can pose a challenge to some cooks. How to make sure it’s cooked through all the way without incinerating it? Follow our easy directions and we guarantee your days of burned on the outside/raw on the inside will be over. We’ve also included a chart of approximate cook times for different chicken parts (legs, thighs, etc.), as well as the internal temperature they should be cooked to, and our strategies for cooking chicken safely.
Whether you want to grill your chicken or turkey whole or cut it up into kabobs, we’ve got a toothsome collection of recipes to pick from. We’ve also included recipes that are tailor made to serve at a party, like Ginger-Grilled Chicken for a Crowd, Grilled Chicken and Steak Fajitas for a Crowd, and Sweet and Tangy BBQ Chicken, where the chicken is oven-steamed in advance. And don’t forget Cornish hens—cut in half, they cook up on the grill in just 30 minutes, and make an elegant change of pace from chicken.
