Got a routine grill that cooks fast and hot but want a little smoke flavoring? Initially, only line charcoals on the bottom of one side of the grill. Put some hickory or mesquite wood chips on top of the hot coals for additional flavoring. Put your meat on the side of the grill far from the coals (indirect heat), and keep the cover closed as much as possible. This will increase cooking times quite a bit, but it will be worth it. In fact, this included smokey taste may be so excellent you may even choose to abandon the barbecue sauce next time you do this. 2. Tired of the same-old BBQ sauce? Test out some brand-new sauces you might have never ever thought about making use of, such as teriyaki, hot sauce, chipotle, Caribbean "jerk"-design sauce, and others. Include a little bourbon, beer, wine, or rum to your standby sauce. Mix in some honey, brown sugar, or paprika. Put in lemon juice, sliced onions, red peppers or chile peppers to perk things up. 3. Marinades tenderize meat. If all of it possible, marinade overnight; but if you can't, attempt to offer at least an hour of the meat taking in the marinade sauce. 4. Use these cooking times for grilled fish: Salmon fillets, 6 - 8 minutes per side; Salmon or halibut steaks, 5 minutes per side; Trout fillets, 4 minutes per side; Little whole fish, 7 minutes per side; and Big fish, 15 minutes per side. If your whole fish are stuffed, offer it a couple of additional minutes per side. Use these general cooking times for grilled chicken: Breasts and wings, 15 - 20 minutes; Thighs and legs, 30 minutes; Chicken cuts in half, 40 - 45 minutes; Whole chicken, 75 - 90 minutes. On individual chicken pieces, use sauce and turn every 5 minutes. Entire birds, grill breast-side down and turn over after 45 minutes. Half birds, cook skin-side down for 5 minutes then flip over and grill for continuing to be quantity of time. The center of the meat should read through 170 to 175 degrees on your meat thermometer if you're in doubt as to whether or not the chicken is done. 5. Utilizing charcoal briquettes for your grill's heat? Light the coals about 30 minutes before to cooking. If you're making use of lighter fluid, see to it the fire is entirely out prior to slapping the meat on the grill, otherwise you'll have the nasty fuel taste in your meat (think me, I know this from experience). At this time, the charcoal should be primarily an ash-gray color with a little bit of glowing red beneath. 6. Cleaning your grill is always a crucial part of the grilling procedure. If you do an inadequate task of cleansing your grill you will end up with old food residue on your grill grates. This can leave a bad taste on your food the next time you cook. I always recommend making use of a strong stainless steel bristled wire grill brush to clean your cast iron or porcelain enameled grill grates.
