Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I marinate chicken before grilling?
For most marinades, 30 minutes to 2 hours is ideal. Acidic marinades (with citrus or vinegar) should not exceed 2 hours as the acid can make the chicken mushy. Oil-based herb marinades can go up to 24 hours in the fridge.
What is the best way to grill chicken without drying it out?
Use medium-high heat (not screaming hot), keep the lid closed to maintain consistent temperature, don't flip too often, and use a meat thermometer. Remove the chicken at exactly 74°C (165°F) and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Can I achieve grilled flavour indoors?
Yes! A cast iron grill pan gives excellent char marks and flavour. You can also use the broiler setting on your oven — place chicken 15-20 cm from the element for a similar charred effect. A good sear in a screaming-hot cast iron pan also works well.
