Open in Pepper →Grilled chicken is the backbone of summer cooking. With the right marinade and technique, it's hard to beat.
The secret is even heat and patience. Don't flip too early, use a meat thermometer, and let it rest before cutting.
Home cooks on Pepper keep coming back to their tried-and-true grilled chicken marinades and techniques, elevating everyday meals into memorable ones.
Pound to even thickness
Uneven chicken breasts cook unevenly. Pound them to ¾ inch for perfect results.
Oil the grill, not the chicken
A well-oiled grill prevents sticking better than oiling the meat.
Use a meat thermometer
Pull chicken at 160°F — it will coast to 165°F while resting.
Let it rest
Five minutes of resting makes the difference between juicy and dry.
