Questions About How To Cook A Turkey On The Grill

Laura asks…

Could you Cook a Turkey without making it Smoked on the Grill?

My Oven broke a week ago.. How can I cook my turkey on the grill? I don't want it to be BBQ just cooked.

admin answers:

First, you should absolutely break the turkey down into parts. Trying to cook a whole turkey on a grill would take FOREVER!! Once you have the turkey into pieces, try brining it to add flavor overnight ( make brine by using water, wine, salt, peppercorns and lots of herbs, garlic and onion too if you like pour this into as many large ziplocs as you need and place turkey parts in and let sit in fridge overnight or for as long as possible) When you are ready to cook, get the grill nice and hot, remove turkey from brine and pat dry, then brush with oil and salt and pepper both sides, and get grilling. Be sure to have an instant read meat thermometer and check all pieces are cooked through before serving. It should be delicious!!

How do you cook a turkey in foil in the grill?

I have volunteered to cook the turkey this year. I originally wanted to pit the turkey but could not talk the folks in to letting me dig a big whole in the back yard. My second thoughts are wrapping the turkey in foil and putting it on the grill. Has any one ever done this? And do you have a great recipe?

admin answers:

When I do this, I use an aluminum roasting pan (you can find them at any grocery store as well as the dollar store) and just cover the top with foil. Not only does it keep the juices from getting down onto the coals and creating a massive amount of smoke/steam, you get to use the drippings for gravy! I usually put a metal roasting rack in the pan too, so that the bird isn't soggy on the bottom.

Ruth asks…

Can I cook a 22lb turkey on a gas grill / BBQ? ?

I need to cook a 20-22lb bird on my gas BBQ. How can I cook such a large bird without it becoming dry? Do I need to cover it with aluminum foil? What temp and for how long? Any receipts and advice for injecting flavors would be great too. I’d like to know the largest bird you’ve grilled, how it turned out and if you’d do it again.

admin answers:

Yes, you can, but you really need to use INdirect heat... Light one side of grill, but put turkey on the other. Start it breast side down, then flip about half-way thru cooking. You REALLY need a meat thermometer to be sure it's done. A pan of water in there wouldn't hurt it staying moist, either.

William asks…

how long to cook a turkey on Webber?

How long does it take to BBQ a turkey on a Webber thats about 19 lbs? Any idea? We put the turkey on the grill and drip it into a alum. pan. Any ideas how long to BBQ it?

admin answers:

That is gonna be a tough one. Webber is usually high heat. Good for beef and grilling. Turkey (especially that big) is gonna burn on the outside and be raw on the inside. You need to keep the meat far away from the heat and covered. I like an outdoor deep frier for cooking turkey outside.

Questions About How To Bake Chicken Thighs In Oven

Sandra asks…

how do you roast/bake (is there a difference?) chicken PIECES in the oven?

everytime I cook chicken in the oven i never know when its ready because the chicken is so moist, and red inside, even after more than an hour in the oven...I usually cook chicken thighs and legs WITH the bone. I dont like chicken that is so moist. i like it kinda dry. I usually rub the chicken with spices, so the flavour is fine but the texture sucks. I usually bake at 400 F because according to my oven thermometer, its really baking at 350 F. How do I get the perfect, dry chicken that isnt grey colour when i take it off the bone? and not pink inside and chewy and moist...? I havent discovered BROIL yet, is it better? help!

admin answers:

Roast- To oven-cook food in an uncovered pan, a method that usually produces a well-browned exterior and ideally a moist interior. Roasting requires reasonably tender pieces of meat or poultry.

Bake-To cook food in an oven, thereby surrounding it with dry heat. It's imperative to know the accurate temperature of an oven. Because most of them bake either hotter or cooler than their gauges read, an OVEN THERMOMETER is vital for accurate temperature readings.

I would suggest that you use a meat thermometer. Chicken is done when the thermometer reads 165 degrees. At that temperature, it will moist and not dry. So if you want it dry, cook it until the thermometer reaches 170 degrees. At that temperature the chicken will be dry but not burned.

Steven asks…

How long do I cook bone-in chicken thighs on the stove?

I don't have any baking sheets for the oven yet, so I am limited to my frying pan and my stove. I was wondering how long and how high the heat should be to cook the chicken thighs? Do I have to coat the pan with anything? Thanks for the help!

admin answers:

You can cook them in olive oil. I would brown the thighs and then set them aside. Cook your vegetables until tender and then add the chicken back in the pan and cover it simmering for 25 minutes or until they are no longer pink in the middle. You can find lots of chicken thigh recipes here:

Lisa asks…

What is the best way to grill chicken thighs on a GF grill? How long?

I have never made "thighs" before. They are marinating now in Italian dressing. Also...how long could I cook baked beans in the oven for? Any suggestions for garnishing the beans? Thanks! I have a dinner to prepare for tomorrow :)

admin answers:

Chicken thighs do not take long to cook on the grill. I love the italian dressing marinade, and while they are grilling, continue to baste the thighs with the marinade. They should not take more that 5 minutes on each side however, be sure to brown them up on each side fairly well. I usually cook my baked beans in a crock pot on the low setting. I just made them last weekend for memorial day. There is no need to soak the beans. If using the crock pot, fill the pot with your beans as well as all the ingredients. Put the beans on low and cook for 6-8 hours. If using the oven, the same applies however, cook them at 300 degrees, covered for 6-8 hours however, cooking in the crockpot allows you to turn them on this evening before you go to bed on the low setting and when you wake up, they will be done ! Good luck on your dinner tomorrow.
