Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Properly Defrosting Chicken

	Never ever defrost your frozen chicken in the microwave or on the counter. To properly defrost a chicken you must plan ahead for the time required to defrost the type and size of chicken you have. Whole chickens can take up to 2 days while chicken breasts that are boneless can be defrosted overnight.

Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Indirect Grilling

	Indirect grilling involves placing the items on the grill grate in an area where the coals or gas flames are not directly beneath the cooking items. The lid is usually closed creating an oven like atmosphere. The process allows for slower more controlled cooking. This method is used most often with larger cuts of meat.
