• To keep meat juicy, trim the fat off after cooking, and let the meat rest a couple of minutes before cutting into it.
• Marinate chicken over night or for a few hours in italian dressing, pineapple juice, teriyaki sauce, etc. It will add flavor with less calories.
• Brush on a couple of tablespoons of BBQ sauce on your chicken before grilling for just 40 calories.
