  • Fresh vs. frozen:Fresh chicken absorbs marinades better and grills more evenly

  • Low ash output:Reduces cleaning and prevents uneven heat
  • Minimal smoke and chemical-free:Protects flavor and safety

4. Marinade Ingredients and Preparation

A flavorful marinade is essential:

  • Ingredients:
    • Soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey or sugar
    • Olive oil or sesame oil
    • Lemon juice or vinegar for tenderizing
    • Optional: chili paste or smoked paprika for spice

Preparation:

  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl
  2. Score the chicken lightly to allow marinade penetration
  3. Coat chicken thoroughly and refrigerate for 2–6 hours

Highlight:Longer marination = deeper flavor, but avoid exceeding 12 hours to prevent texture changes.

5. Prepping Your Grill and Cooking Space

Charcoal setup:

  1. Light Royacha charcoal in a chimney starter for 10–15 minutes
  2. Spread evenly for indirect heat zones
  3. Ensure grill grate is clean and lightly oiled

Safety tip:Ensure proper ventilation if grilling indoors and keep a heat-resistant matunder the grill.
