I usually always baste through the whole cooking process,except...I don't baste the last 3 minutes of grilling time.Just be sure to keep the meat away from direct heat,the last few minutes.If you are to use these on chicken....use tongs.Don't poke the chicken.The juices will be released,which causes the meat to dry out and possibly burn.I never use a fork,unless I use boneless,skinless chicken breasts, and that's when I use marinade.Discard leftover marinade with poultry always.Don't REUSE!
