Grilled chicken skills:
Pound boneless ,skinless chicken breasts first .
The uneven shape of boneless , skinless chicken breasts makes them tricky to grill , but by just spending a few minutes pounding the thicker and thinner , you'll both reduce cooking time and end up with more evenly cooked meat .
Add flavor before grill : The best part of grilling is the ritual of throwing it onto the grill and relaxing with a drink while it cooks .Take a little extra time to inject flavor into the chicken before grilling so you can skip basting and don't to do much work as it grills , and you know the end flavor will be amazing .Try a brine , rub or marinade - it doesn't have to be fancy at all !
