Grilling chicken can be challenging. Here are some tips to ensure success: Prepare a brine in advance (as directed in the recipe on the next tab). Marinate the chicken in the brine, and in the meantime, wipe down your grill with an oil-blotted towel and pre-heat for hot and cool zones. Drain the chicken, mark it on the hot zone then move it to the cooler zone to finish out the cooking. Glaze the chicken toward the end of the process so it doesn't burn. Baste with the glaze liberally, using a silicone brush. You'll know your glaze is well cooked when it looks shiny, like a lacquer.
