George foreman grill chicken breast time and temperature

For the most part, chicken should be grilled at 350º to 450º F over direct or indirect medium heat. The only exception is when you're smoking the chicken. Often used with wings or whole chickens, smoking meat involves indirect cooking over very low heat, 225º to 250º F, with the addition of smoldering wood chunks.

Even thickness ensures even cooking. The next step is to carefully monitor cooking progress to ensure that you're not overcooking. Chicken is extremely easy to dry out, so once it's cooked it needs to be taken off the grill immediately to keep it moist, juicy and delicious.

Because chicken breasts are lean meat, they can overcook and dry out easily. You want to cook your chicken breasts for 18 minutes at 425 degrees. Cooking chicken breasts on high heat for a shorter amount of time will help keep them juicy and delicious.

Chicken breast, boneless, skinless — 6 to 8 ounces will take between 8 and 12 minutes over direct medium heat (350 °F) Chicken breast, bone-in — 10 to 12 ounces — 30 to 40 minutes over indirect medium heat (350 °F) Leg or thigh, bone-in — 30 to 40 minutes over indirect medium heat (350 °F)
