It’s grilling season so why not impress her or the whole family with delicious grilled chipotle chiken? Show ‘em your mad skillz in grilling 
. A Man is only as good as his grilling techniques, right? . Here’s an easy grilled chicken recipe for you that I assure you everybody would enjoy. And trust me, it’s as easy as saying your ABC.
- INGREDIENTS :
- chicken quarters (or legs, thighs)
- a bottle of Lawry’s Baja Chipotle Marinade
- a boiling pot with water.
When you’re grilling chicken, except the chicken breasts, you MUST parboil the chicken first. This will avoid burnt skin and raw meat. By parboiling it, the chicken is already half-way cooked inside so by the time you grill ‘em, they’re finishing to cook with the skin. Know what I mean? Parboiling means pre-boiling the chicken in water. More after the fold..
Ok so you parboil the chicken. Stick a fork into the meat and when there’s clear liquid coming out of it, then it’s done. Drain the water off. Transfer the chicken into container/tupperware, over the chipotle marinade, make sure every pieces are coated with the marinade. Cover and store in the fridge, overnight or about 2-3 hours before grilling time.
Grill each side about 10-12 minutes. Depends how powerful your grill is. Set it to medium heat. 8-10 minutes on each side is an ideal grilling time as well. I think you know what a cooked chicken looks like right? Maybe before you start preparing your grilled chicken, ask your wife/gf nicely to make potato salad to go nicely with it. If you want to do the whole thing and need a recipe, e-mail me (dexie.wharton@b5media.com) .
Enjoy. If you can’t grill, you can always bake ‘em in the oven. Either way, it’s delicious. She and the whole family will enjoy it. Have a great weekend!
