Cooking Tip

Chicken Thighs, Legs and Breasts

Chicken with the skin on will result in best results. Chicken retains juices better. Remove skin after cooking, if desired.

Barbecue Tip

Direct Cooking Method

Direct cooking over coals is best for searing foods, before moving away from high heat, and for cooking vegetables, kabobs, fish fillets, hamburgers, and thin cuts of meat.
