I think everyone has owned a George Foreman grilling machine at one time or another. My question: how do you keep from burning your chicken? It seems everytime I try to cook chicken, especially strips, the outside gets burned before the inside is cooked. I just bought the new machine that lets you take the top and bottom off separately and clean them. Any suggestions?
I have one too and we use it alot however, if the cut of chicken is too thick, it will burn on the outside a lil try cutting it laterally and make sure its 100% thawed
and they are completely thawed? you might be cooking them too long that grille will cook a piece of chicken really fast, and if they are thin strips, it will probably only take a min or so to cook
FYI : I got rid of my Foreman grill a year or two ago and got the Flavorwave oven. That thing is one of the best contraptions I've ever bought. It's an infomercial product I bought based on a post by someone on here... can't remember who it was - maybe moomoo. You can throw frozen stuff on there and it'll cook it great - no need to thaw.
Usually, with chicken breasts on the Foreman, I slice each breast in half. I get perfect chicken without them getting burnt on the top and not done in the middle. I'd marinate them in a blend of Italian dressing, woresterchire and various seasonings for a day or two before cooking.
This girl I'm dating just got one for xmas, a huge mega grill...She doesn't cook much, and her her first try, she broke the handle, etc...Now, she takes this as a sign she shouldn't cook... Anyway, too thick a cut of chicken will cause it, also for meat...
The George Forman grill looks pretty good on TV but I heard that the clean up is a real pain. What do you guys say?
When I had one, the only time it was a real pain was if you let it cool off too much and everything dried. The non-stick coating sometimes wore off on the thing, too. Back then you couldn't throw the grill plates into the dishwasher - you may be able to now.
The new grill I bought lets you take off the top and bottom metal parts separately, letting you clean them in the sink with ease. Most of the time the chicken I burn has been marinated. The instruction manual says you should cook chickenn for 9 minutes. I had to throw that batch out it became so burnt.
The removable plates are great and was thinking about getting them for my parents for XMas, but got them the Hamilton Beach one instead. Same features, with the removable grill, but the HB one has a feature where u can put the top grill side to side with the bottom grill and make it a full size grill. As for cooking the chicken, my dad made some bourbon chicken on it and he cooked it 5-7mins but then again, they weren't strips.
