I have trouble with grilled chicken. It always seems to come out dry on the inside and leathery on the outside. I just put salt, pepper, and some other seasonings on it. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Dear Gina,
That is a question That seems most people have. If you are just using what you say you are, all you need to do is just add one more. That is OIL. Just as you would add some type of oil to a frying pan just before you saute, you need to do the same when you grill. Not just to the grill but to the food also. Use good oils on you food though, like olive oil or what ever you use to saute with. The reason is you need a medium. Something between the grill grates and your food to prevent that leather crust on the outside. You should really do this with all of your food that you grill. It will also help prevent sticking too.
For the dry inside! Our best suggestion is to not over cook it. We know that sounds easier said then done but if you time the chicken or just use a thermometer and cook the chicken to 165 degrees F you will be fine. When you do both after a while you will know just by time, sight, and touch that your chicken is done.
If you have any other questions on this please let us know.
Sincerely,
Chef Chat Cafe
