Chicken breasts and thighs can be grilled on the indoor tabletop grill. Legs do not grill as easily as thinner slices. It takes a long time to be sure they are done. On an outdoor grill, there is a risk that they may not be fully cooked. However, slightly pink (near the leg bone) grilled chicken can still be safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to verify grilled chicken is completely cooked. Chicken can be grilled in an open pan, or in packets. Individual packets allow an additional option of individualizing a meal, especially helpful for those with allergies.
