Chef's Note & Story
It is best to microwave the chicken to partially cook it before grilling. It will not only save you time, but it can also help prevent overcooked, burned chicken.
Interesting! I wanna give a try on these. Thank you for sharing
Giving the chicken a nice long bath in a mix of freshly chopped herbs, minced garlic and olive oil does wonders in keeping it moist and flavorful!
