Grilled chicken is an attractive and easy-to-make dish. Your family will enjoy and want to eat this delicious dish every day. Check out the following guide on how to grill chicken breasts, chicken thighs, or whole chicken.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Grilling Whole Chicken

1. 

   Turn on the oven at 200 ° C. If you use a convection oven, preheat it to 190 ° C.

2. 

   
   
   Wash the chicken with cold water. Remember to wash the inside of the chicken belly. If there is still any internal organs in the chicken belly, remove it now. Washing the chicken with cold water is important because washing it with warm water gives the bacteria the opportunity to grow.

3. 

   Place the chicken on a plate and blot the water dry with a paper towel. When the chicken is drained, it will taste better. Because if there's too much water, you turn it into steamed chicken, not grilled chicken.

4. 

   
   
   Stuff the belly of the chicken with half an onion (this step is optional). You can also add ¼ lemon, an apple or herbs. These spices will enhance the inner flavor of the chicken. You can also sprinkle some salt and pepper on it. Then tie the chicken thighs with the string used in cooking.

5. 

   Soak the herbs and spices on the outside of the chicken. You can also use olive oil, fat or butter to spread evenly over the surface of the skin. Don't forget to sprinkle with salt and pepper. Be sure to even coat the entire surface with the seasoning.

6. 

   
   
   Place the chicken (already on the tray) in the oven. Make sure the oven is at 200 ° C. Then roast chicken for about 50 to 60 minutes, for chicken weighing 1 to 1.5 kg.
   • Another option is to cover both the baking tray and the chicken with foil. Roast the chicken that has been covered for 60 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-30 minutes or until the water is gone. This will make the chicken skin crispy.

7. 

   Remove the chicken from the oven after baking. Let the chicken cool for 15 minutes before cutting into pieces. Don't forget to cut the string tied to the chicken thigh.

8. 

   Keep any remaining fat in the tray when you remove the chicken. Because you can use it to make chicken soup or to make sauces.

1. 

   Turn on the oven and heat it to 170 ° C.

3. 

   Seasoning chicken breast. You can spread olive oil and sprinkle herbs over the chicken or use pre-mixed seasoning powder depending on your preference. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the chicken to add flavor. To season the chicken evenly, you can place the oil and seasonings in a plastic zipper bag. Then, add the chicken breast, close it and shake it until the chicken is evenly seasoned.
   • You can also use meat broth. Choose the type of marinade you like, then add the chicken to marinate for a few hours. Marinate the meat overnight for a rich flavor.

4. 

   Place the chicken breast in the baking tray. Remember to place the chicken breasts neatly on the tray and not overlapping (this means placing only one layer of chicken breast on the tray).

5. 

   Bake the chicken breast for 35 to 45 minutes. When the water in the tray is empty, the meat is done. If you have a food thermometer, use it to see if the inside temperature of chicken has reached 70 ° C.

6. 

   Remove the chicken breast from the oven. If you're not sure if the chicken is cooked, cut a small piece to check it out. If the meat is still pink, put it in the oven and cook again. If the meat is cooked, let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. advertisement

3. 

   Season the chicken thighs. You can use any seasoning or oil you like. Don't forget to sprinkle with salt and pepper.
   • For a healthy chicken drumstick, you can apply a little olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper and thyme over the meat.
   • For crispy skin, you can mix ½ bowl of flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder and any other herbs you like (season according to taste). Spread the butter or olive oil on the chicken thighs and then roll the meat into the dough.
