What Are The Best Cuts of Chicken To Grill? <\/span><\/h2>\nChicken Thighs.<\/strong> Thighs are more tender and have more fat than chicken breasts. Thighs will usually be a bit more tender and have a richer flavor because of the fat. You can grill bone in or boneless. Bone-in will take about 12 minutes on each side to cook and boneless is 3-4 minutes per side. <\/p>\nChicken Drumsticks. <\/strong> Drumsticks can be really fun for kids to eat because it\u2019s like there is a built in handle. They usually come skin on making them super crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Because of the bone, drumsticks will take longer to cook than other cuts. They will need to cook for about 35 minutes and turned every 5 minutes to make sure they don\u2019t burn. For the most tender, fall off the bone drumstick, cook to an internal temperature of 185 degrees. <\/p>\nChicken Breast.<\/strong> Breasts can be tender and juicy grilled even though they are lower in fat. Try to buy breasts that are 5-8 ounces because bigger than that will take much longer to cook and can dry out on the grill. If you chicken breasts are much larger on one end, you will want to use a meat pounder to even out the thickness so that each breast cooks through at about the same time. If the breast is very thick, you can butterfly it to help even it out. Average size chicken breasts will need to cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. <\/p>\nChicken Wings. <\/strong> Wings are the smallest part of the chicken and have the least amount of meat. This means they will cook the fastest. They will only need 2-3 minutes per side and you will want to watch them carefully. <\/p>\n\n

I recommend using breast, thighs or drumsticks. <\/li>\nCoconut Milk.<\/strong> Make sure to get unsweetened coconut milk \u2013 you can use full fat or lower fat, but I recommend full fat for the most tender chicken. <\/li>\nLimes.<\/strong> Fresh limes \u2013 you will need the juice of 3 good size limes. <\/li>\nSweet Red Chili Sauce. <\/strong> This can be found at your local grocery store. A common brand is Thai Kitchen. <\/li>\nSalt and Pepper.<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/picture> <\/picture><\/noscript><\/figure>\nHow to Make Grilled Chicken without a Grill<\/span><\/h2>\nNo grill you say? There are several ways to modify.<\/p>\n
\nUse an indoor grill pan appliance<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u00a0There are appliances that act like grills, like the George Foreman grill. It can sit on your counter, and grill both sides of your meat at once. They are pretty amazing, and a quick way to make your grilled chicken.<\/li>\nUse your oven broiler.\u00a0<\/strong> In your oven, the broiler setting changes from an all over heat source to just using the heating element on the top of the oven.\u00a0 I turn that on, but I also use a grill broiler pan that my oven came with, to allow some heat to get under the meat. The grill pan has slats in the bottom, similar to a grilling rack.<\/li>\nA grill pan for your stovetop.<\/strong> Rather than an extra appliance, some people like a grill pan that fits on top of your stove. These are great, they don\u2019t take a up a lot of room, and your chicken cooks quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/picture> <\/picture><\/noscript><\/figure>\n
