Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com .

Once you understand the technique of grilling chicken pieces, it will be easy for you to add your favorite rubs, marinades, and sauces. I recommend grilling chicken pieces over an indirect heat so that the chicken is cooked on the inside and golden brown on the outside at the same time. Cooking over direct heat can create a raw interior and a burned exterior—especially if you put the barbecue sauce on too soon.

Chef's note:

If preparing barbecued chicken, season with favorite barbecue rub and brush sauce on chicken during the last 10 to 15 minutes of cooking time to prevent burning.
