Grilling Tips
It’s important to make sure all your propane tanks are filled and have extra cooking utensils ready for your cookout. Seasoning the chicken is key, so don’t overcomplicate things; a bucket hat and cool sunglasses are optional accessories.
Cooking Chicken
Starting on the chicken first and creating heat zones are recommended. Avoid flipping the meat too often, and ensure it cooks through if bone-in. Cleaning a shared grill can work wonders for flavor.
Burger Wisdom
When grilling burgers, consider using 80/20 beef and have a spray bottle of water handy for flare-ups. Toasting the buns adds an extra touch of flavor and fanciness to your cookout.
