Pro Tips For Grilling Chicken Breasts Without Drying Them Out

Infusing juicy chicken breasts with even more flavor

If you're particularly concerned about how juicy your chicken will turn out, there are several methods to ensure it stays moist. Rich Parente suggests that using a marinade is a reliable technique. "An overnight marinade is a great way to ensure grilled chicken remains juicy," he explains. This not only prevents the chicken from drying out but also enhances its flavor. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a simple marinade that adds even more taste to your grilled chicken. "I enjoy mixing fresh rosemary, parsley, and thyme with white wine and oil, then marinating the chicken in that blend overnight. When you're ready to grill, be sure to season the chicken well with salt for a delicious meal," Parente advises.

If you prefer to serve your chicken with a sauce on the side rather than marinating it, he has a recommendation for that as well. "A beef demi-glace or roasted chicken jus infused with herbs pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken," he suggests. So, whether you're facing issues with flavor or juiciness, Parente's tips should help you get back on track. (And if these methods don't keep your chicken moist, you may be making another common mistake when grilling.)
