Grilling 101
I know a lot folks cook on the grill when the weather is good and some folks cook year round on the grill. Maybe you master grillers can offer some advice.
I want grill boneless skinless chicken breast on the grill. Every time that I cook chicken on the grill it sticks. It doesn't matter if it's marinated or the grill has been coated with oil. This year I have a grill that has cast iron grates coated with ceramic. I watched my neighbor on his charcoal grill cook chicken over the weekend and he said that it never sticks. He said that it may be because I'm not using stainless steel grates. So, what do I do to get the chicken to stop sticking other that cooking beef or pork?

I hate grilling chicken!! Specially chicken legs! I always burn them. I do love eating grilled chicken though...when someone else grills it!
I have not had too much trouble with the frozen bonless,skinless chicken breast though. I throw them on frozen and they cook fine.

I grill chicken year round. I always use PAM FOR GRILLING. I spray it on the grill while its warming and I clean all the grates with it. After the grill is hot and ready I spray it again and then lay the breasts or leg quarters on it. One thing I do is poke them through and through with a grilling fork, then marinate them with 4 different seasonings the night before in Moore's sauce. This makes them juicy and the marinade also helps them not stick. Here are some chicken and chops from last weekend.
Amin, frozen?? You're killing me!

Don't wait till the grill is hot to put your bird in on it. Keep the meat moving around, and cook it very slow...& low heat.
NothiNg like chickeN oN the grill!

I grill a whole chicken, halved down the center. Skin side first, about twelve minutes for a 6lb bird, then flip to the bone side, one hour. Sometimes I use smoke chips, apple wood. Nothing ever sticks on my grill because it is seasoned. I never clean it. Never. When it's preheated for five minutes, there's no critters left. It's like seasoning an iron skillet. You never wash a cast-iron skillet, just wipe it out with a paper towel and pinch of coarse salt.

Oh yeah, I love me some food porn!!
Ryder, I agree, I dont clean it with anything but Pam and an onion does wonders to clean it and season it.

This is great. I'm cooking the chicken later. Hopefully it will come out right.

Can't beat beer can Chicken and it can't stick.
Drink 1/3 of a can of beer and carefully put the can and the remainder of the contents up the large cavity of a whole chicken and roast it vertically on the grill. The can helps hold the bird upright and the beer continually bastes the bird from the inside with steam. Always juicy and tender. You can also pick up a holder for a few bucks that you put the can in and it steady a the chicken a bit more.

I usually go out on the deck, look at the grill and yell to Cindy;
" Hey I'm headed to Kentucky Fried Chicken, you need anything else while I'm in town?"

Norm, I do that one too. The little holder is like $3 at Walmart and it stainless steel. I usually drink more that 1/3 of a can of beer though!

Beer Can Chicken is the bomb! Love it! Got a new Weber Grill this year and actually read the grilling tips that came with it - It says to prehaeat the grill on High for about 10 minutes to get the grates good and hot and seer the meat . . . then turn it down to cooking temp when you throw it on . . . Works good for steaks - haven't triied that with chicken yet . . . doing one on the can this weekend . . .

A lot of good ideas.
I also use a rotisserie occasionally when grilling chicken. Use indirect, lower heat helps to cook (barbecue) it. It allows you to baste it with sauce to get a thick glaze without it burning to ashes.

Chicken is for the smoker, not the grill.
