Grilled Chicken with Tarragon Butter Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Grilled Chicken with Tarragon Butter Recipe). I prepare this dish inside on my stovetop gas grill in winter and outdoors on my gas orcharcoal grill in summer. Make sure your grill is very clean, or the chicken will stick. The bird is grilled long enough so that most of the fat in the skin drains away, and it is then transferred to a warm oven to finish cooking in its own juices. A delicious tarragon butter, dotted on the chicken at serving time, replicates the flavor of a bearnaise sauce.
