How to Grill Chicken Breasts - NoRecipeRequired.com

Chicken for dinner is one of the most common meals in just about every house. And Grilling is one of my favorite ways to cook chicken. Here I show you how to grill off chicken breasts, getting those very cool looking grill marks and developing a flavorful exterior, while still making sure the inside is tender and juicy.

Like most chicken breast recipes, the key here is to use really high heat to sear off the chicken, cooking it quickly so it does not dry out, and getting that great slightly charred flavor. I'm simply cooking the chicken with salt, pepper and olive oil, but it's the same cooking techniques for marinaded or spice rubbed chicken.

Give it try and let me know how it goes.

I skipped a 15-minute _Sam the Cooking Guy_ video and watched this <4-min video instead, and I have ZERO regrets😊

This is exactly what I was looking for and needed. Straight to the point and easy to understand.

Thank you! 😃

I did this and your instructions works amazing. I have never even turn on gas much less cooked chicken....THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for this video. Very straight forward. Like the way you showed how to get the famous grill marks. Haven't grilled in years, always used some type of smoker, for over 35 yrs.

Do you have the lid down inbetween the turning?

[jamesmharvey]

Thanks for the video. Just curious if you keep the grill on high heat the entire time.

Great technique going to try that next time I'm grilling! PS I love the fire sirens in the background!

I came across your video upon looking for different ways to grill chicken breasts, and thought I would give your method a try -- I thought I would post a comment about it (which I never do) and tell you that I did it exactly as you said, and it turned out absolutely perfect.  In fact, I am sitting here eating my chicken over spinach salad as I'm typing this.  I will definitely do this again.  Thank you very much for posting this video -- I look forward to checking out other recipes that you have posted.

I love this video I've took it a step further and did a little infusing I've had people come back and say it was the best chicken they've ever had in their life

Just bought my first grill last night! I feel confident with cooking chicken now, thanks!!

Nice video! Looking to buy my first grill and chicken just seems intimidating to grill haha. I’ve heard of the 2 zone method where you cook meats indirectly, if I wanted to take that approach could I do it with chicken? Or is it chicken supposed to be cooked directly?

[johnmccloud]

Do you cook the grill mark side with lid up?

[TurquoiseMidheaven]

Do you close the lid to the grill at all while cooking?

Great video!!! My chicken came out amazing because of your tips.

Thank you for showing us how to do this. My brother often cooks for my family, but he's a Jail Bird.
And, I don't like him around my kids, because he likes kids "a little too much". So, glad that I can do
it now and not have to leave him home alone in the afternoon around my kids. Thanks ...

[tonoisb]

can you do the same on a charcoal grill and if not whats the difference

[SincerelyyyKiki]

I love your videos! I'm learning to cook from you! My husband is going to be shocked when he gets home lol thanks so much! Also, how do you feel about stovetop grills? Do you think they were just as effectively?
