Critical Success Points

  • Cutting the chicken into even pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Marinating for at least 10 minutes to infuse flavor.
  • Par‑boiling to ensure the meat stays moist during grilling.
  • Achieving a good char on a hot charcoal grill.
  • Reducing the sauce to a glaze consistency.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Use heat‑resistant gloves when working with hot charcoal.
  • Ensure the grill is placed on a stable, non‑flammable surface.
