Foreman Grill People........

How long do you cook your chicken on the grill (thawed)? I have a Foreman knock off and it says 5-8min. I normally cook it for 8min (scared to death of Salmonella or any other foodborne illnesses) but then the outside is really tough and nasty. I did it for 6min today and it was much, MUCH better but I want to make sure that Im still cooking it enough. Or should I just get a meat thermometer, and if that is the case is it 180degrees when done inside? Thanks!

I wouldn't cook it for a set time I usually just check by sight and see if it is done

I agree with crmdogg
I cook them like 4 minutes. I cant eat dry chicken. Cut the thick part of one open after 3-4 minutes of cooking, if there is no more pink your good to go.

Thanks guys. Yeah I think Im just too paranoid about undercooking the chicken that I have been charcoal'ing it for the past year or so.

I do 6min....but you can go less I think.
Just check the thick part.

Thanks guys! That "beef jerky" chicken was getting a little old!

yeah 5-8 minutes is about how long it takes me to do it
as soon as it starts getting brown stripes it's pretty much done for me but i get a knife and fork and cut to see if the center is still pink, if it isnt i eat it otherwise another 1-3 minutes

I just tried cutting my chicken breasts into strips before I cook'em.

That rules....cut my cook time down to 3 min !
Still very juicy too! This makes it easier to cook chicken 3lbs at a time LOL.

Hehe. I bought one of those hamilton beach indoor grills and cook a 6lb CostCo bag at a time.

i have found that if you cut the chicken in pieces about as big as your thumb (sorry cant think of anything else about the same size ) and throw them on the stove it takes about the same time. and its MUCH MORE TENDER i think you all should try it.

What temp?
How long?

Elaborate please.
