Culinary secrets
- To ensure juicy chicken meat, buy a fresh, chilled carcass;
- To prepare the marinade, it is better to use refined vegetable oil or olive oil. Unrefined will interrupt the taste of the dish;
- If you are using a frozen chicken carcass, you should defrost it in the refrigerator. Do not defrost the carcass in boiling water or in the microwave, this will not affect the taste of the dish for the better;
- Choose factory-processed chicken for grilling; poultry may be too tough;
- To keep the meat soft, it needs to be filled with saline solution and left for 3 hours. To prepare it, add a tablespoon of salt to 2 liters of water;
- To prevent the legs and wings of the bird from falling apart when baking on a spit, it is better to tie them with thread. The wings can also be inserted into the chicken skin by making small cuts in it.
And yet, grilled chicken must be eaten as soon as it is baked, otherwise the skin will become limp and the taste will not be the same.

Cooking meat in a grill pan is also very convenient, so if you are not a fan of microwaves, use this specialized utensil.
