Grilling Chicken

The Right Cuts: For the juiciest results, pick up some inexpensive bone-in, skin-on pieces. The skin prevents the meat from drying out, and the warmth of the flame melts the fat beneath the skin, effectively basting the meat, says Elizabeth Karmel, the founder of www.girlsatthegrill.com and the author of Taming the Flame (Wiley, $25, www.amazon.com).

The Easiest Technique: Place the chicken, skin-side up, over indirect heat, close the lid, and don’t touch it for about 45 minutes. It’s that simple. The closed lid creates an ovenlike atmosphere that yields a crisp, golden skin. If you prefer grill marks, says Karmel, turn the chicken during the final eight minutes or so.
