Questions about Grilled chicken
How do you stop grilled chicken breast drying out?
Use pieces of even thickness, brush them lightly with oil and grill over medium-high heat, turning once. A breast about 2 cm thick usually takes 5–7 minutes per side; check that the centre reaches 75 °C, then rest it for 5 minutes before cutting.
How long can you keep grilled chicken in the fridge?
Cool it promptly and refrigerate it within 2 hours in a covered container. Eat it within 2 days, or freeze it; thaw frozen chicken in the fridge rather than on the worktop.
Can you reheat grilled chicken?
Yes. Reheat it only once, until steaming hot all the way through; adding a splash of stock or water and covering it helps prevent it drying out. Slice it first to warm it evenly.
What goes well with grilled chicken?
Serve it with grilled aubergine and courgette, flatbreads and yoghurt sauce, or add it to a Caesar salad. Leftover pieces also work well in wraps, grain salads and chicken sandwiches.
How can you tell when grilled chicken is cooked?
Check the thickest part with a food thermometer: it should reach 75 °C. If you do not have one, cut into the centre; it should be steaming hot with no pink meat, though a thermometer is more reliable.
What is the difference between grilled chicken and chicken tikka?
Chicken tikka is usually cut into chunks, marinated with spices and yoghurt, then grilled; plain grilled chicken is typically seasoned more simply and may be cooked as a whole breast or joint. Tikka’s marinade gives it a distinct spiced flavour.
