How do you grill chicken without drying it out? How do you keep chicken moist on the grill?
For these Grilled Chicken Breasts, all I did was brine them before grilling. I also covered them with olive oil. Follow these simple steps will make you the juiciest grilled chicken you’ve ever had.
When to season grilled chicken breast…
Season your chicken before placing it on the grill. As it’s cooking, the seasoning will flavor your chicken.
How to make grilled chicken at home..
If you have a grill, could be gas, pellet or charcoal, then you can make better than restaurant grilled chicken.
Either marinate or brine your chicken first. Then coat with olive oil (could use other oils such as avocado). Season it. Before placing it on the grill, brush olive oil on the grill grates.
Grilled chicken temperature
Grill your chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 155° or higher. After removing your chicken from the grill, let it rest for 10-15 minutes. The chicken will continue to cook while resting, bringing it to a safe temperature to consume.
