Here’s our trick for doing so. It’s simple. Do the exact opposite of what your host commands. “Make yourself at home,” they will tell you. Don’t. If we were to obey, more often than not, a team of hazmats would be sent in immediately to take it down to the studs and start over.  Welcome home.   The Trick to Keeping Your BBQ Chicken Juicy on the Grill Get a thermometer. You’re not going to be able to poke it and know when it’s done. Okay? You’re just not. Our other “trick”? Skip the breasts and legs. Go for thighs.
