How long do you barbecue chicken?

Answer by  cello (56)

The grill should be set to about a medium temperature (350 degrees fahrenheit). Boneless chicken breasts take about 10 minutes each side. Bone-in chicken can take 15-20 minutes each side. Chicken needs to be cooked thoroughly. When poked with a fork the juices are clear. When you cut into it with a knife the inside should not be pink.

If barbecued on a grill, in my opinion the best way, it takes less than thirty minutes to fully cook the chicken. You should keep the flame on gas grills even and baste with the sauce often.

It is very important to cook chicken completely to avoid food poisoning. Chicken breasts on the grill should be cooked until the juices run clear. small chicken breasts would take approx 10-15 mins, turning over once during the cooking. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach around 170 degrees.

Well, all depends on what part of the chicken you are grilling. For example if you are grilling legs the cooking time will be around twenty five minute; but if you are making a whole chicken, the process will take between, fourty five minutes to an hour.

To properly barbecue chicken, the coals should not be too near the chicken. This will cause burning before the inside is done. Slowly cook the chicken pieces on the grill about 30-40 minutes. Whole chickens take much longer. Breasts cook faster than thighs. Add sauce towards end of cooking.

you usually barbecue a chicken until the meat in the thighs are done, if the blood runs clear and the meat is not red, the chicken is done. the amount of time this takes depends on the size of the chicken and the temperature at which you are cooking it.

If the grill is rather hot, thirty minutes will do. To be extra safe, you can go to forty or so.
