YouTube, where I come to learn the things my dad should have taught me.

I can close my eyes and imagine Manny from Ice Age giving me instructions.

Grilling perfect chicken breasts with the voice of Ray Romano. XD

Never seen this feller before, but i like his style, to the point and informative

I’ve always found chicken to be the hardest thing to grill, because you can easily dry it out, but if you undercook it, it’s not like you can eat a more “rare” chicken. Basically the margin for error is so slim compared to other meats.

I've made your marinade twice this week thats how good it is. I didnt have oregano so skipped it and still delicious.

2 thoughts on this style;
- I never close the lid until I flip. I find the chicken starts cooking on the topside (broils rather than grills)
- I use a slightly higher heat and turn the chicken 45-90 degrees to get cross grill marks

With that said, the marinade looked outstanding

This marinade is amazing. I've been putting the chicken in a ziplock with marinade instead of brushing it on. A++, dude handed me a real crowd pleaser.

Loved the video. Who knew Gabe from the office and Bob Saget's kid was such a good cook

[nickhansbauer]

Thanks for the great and straightforward guide! Doing this right now and getting great results, even as an amateur :) - Especially the part about not fiddling with the chicken at first and letting it get brown in order to reduce stickiness is a great tip!

"Don't fiddle with the 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Great video, and the marinade looks delicious!!! I have to give that a try.

Ok, I grilled this tonight and it's fantastic. Honestly some of the best chicken I've ever had. Thanks for the recipe!

[johnbednarek]

Fantastic advice.  I used a basic oil and paprika seasoning and it worked perfectly.  Dont forget to let the chicken sit, covered in foil, for 5 to 10 minutes.

This was very helpful! This guy reminded me of Ray Romano, from Everybody Loves Raymond. This is going under my favorites. Really great tips and we're gong to try his recipe. Thumbs up. We tried it and it was DELICIOUS! We did 8 minutes on EACH side. That's it. And we made sure not to lift the top or fiddle with the chicken, until that 8 minutes was up.

Great video! Gals it was only 4 minutes because I didn’t have much time. Love the trick by poking the base of your thumb. My chicken turned out perfect and the marinade was a huge hit, too! I’d say we hit 100%!

Good tips. They can get a little dry. That marinade sounds excellent. I usually cook most things at about 350 on mine. Sometimes i may start a little higher, 400-425, for searing and good grill marks, then turn it down.

[unfun]

thanks... for the first time in my life, i grilled perfect chricken breasts tonight without turning them into hockey pucks.

[glennsosinske]

I never use a meat thermometer when I cook meat. I don't like poking holes into the meat, but instead, I use your technique that you demonstrated. Very good video. Two thumbs up from me.

[CCY]

I'm actually doing this now, hopefully it comes out great

[bxgurlpm]

Just made this and It tastes awesome! Thanks for the recipe!
