Helpful Tips for Women Who Dare to Use the BBQ Grill

If you are like me, most of the BBQ food I have ever enjoyed was prepared by a man. For most, the grill is still a man's domain, but today's working woman is as much about empowerment as we are equality. Here are some great tips for making incredible food on the barbecue...tips that even your man may not know:

First things first: When leaning over the grill, be ever mindful of the location of you boobs. If you burn your boobies on the grill, it's likely you will lose your appetite for doing your own grilling before you ever get started. 'Nuff said!" Okay, now for the serious stuff.

One of the most common grilling mistakes is putting the barbecue sauce on too early. When it goes on too early, you end up wasting all of your sauce. Good grillers know that the you wait until the last couple of minutes of cooking to add barbecue sauce. The reason? If you put it on too early, the sauce all slides off into the drip tray instead of adhering to the meat. Let your meat cook thoroughly and then brush on your barbecue sauce when there is just enough time to heat it up before removing your yummy goodness from the grill.

When cooking chicken on the grill, ideally you will have a two rack grill at your disposal. Regardless of that, though, the secrets to successful juicy, chicken that pulls in all of the smoky flavor of the grill are patience and water. Patience comes from knowing to cook chicken on a medium flame rather than high. Fill a small oven safe dish with enough water to last through the entire cooking process, and close the lid of your grill during cooking. As the water comes to a boil, it will create enough steam to satiate the heat's greed for moisture, and your chicken will stay juicy and full of flavor.
