How Do You Grill Chicken And Keep It Moist Marinating your chicken is the key to getting moist and juicy chicken. I know that might sound crazy but it is true.
You want to marinate the chicken to really lock in flavor and prevents it from drying as it cooks. This recipe is spot on for both. So take the time and allow your chicken to really marinate in this mixture. What If My Chicken Breasts Are Extra Thick Sometimes you find chicken breasts that are rather large in size. Sometimes you find with grilling the chicken overcooks on the outside and can be undercooked in the center. So what I recommend is either cutting the chicken in half, so it is thinner before you marinate.
Or you can place in between plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to help flatten the chicken a bit. That way when you toss on the Ninja Foodi Grill you can get an even cook. Have you ever noticed where chicken is wider in certain spots, by flattening it out you get a more even cook and ensure all the chicken is properly cooked. 4 cup for using later when serving.
If your breasts are super thick and or uneven in thickness, put between saran wrap and beat until even and less thick. Poke breasts with a fork creating little pockets for the marinade to soak into. Put your breasts into the marinade and let marinate for at least 20 minutes. Insert grill grate into your pot. Press the grill button, set the temperature to MEDIUM, set the time to 25 minutes.
Cook for another 5 minutes, open the lid and baste the chicken with more marinade. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Start to check the internal temp to make sure you are not starting to overcook. You want to have an internal temp of 165 degrees.
