keep making slits with a pointy knife. the MOMENT the juice runs out clear and not pink, it's done.

So I just place the raw chicken on the grill without any seasoning?
When do I start making the slits? And after all those slits do I end up serving deformed chicken bottoms?
Approximately how long should the grilling process take until it's done?
Thanks!!

Max 20 minutes, but put it on first and add the seasoning the last few minutes because sweet sauces (such as steak sauce) turn black if you put it on in the beginning.

Btw, bone-in chicken thighs come out splendidly juicy and tastey on the George Foreman.
Don't use whole chicken bottoms though, as they don't cook evenly.

Thanks shaklee and ra_mom, but I still don't get what I'm supposed to do in regard to the 'slits'?

Ok, here's a deal. 1 slit every minute past 13 minutes.

The way I do the chicken breasts is I marinate them in lemon juice, soy sauce and garlic powder for a few minutes. (I find that the lemon juice helps it retain some of the juices.)
I haven't grilled in a while, and I just looked up my notes, and now I am changing my post.
Preheat the grill.
Grill cutlets for 5 minutes. Flip to other side and grill for another 2 minutes. Pull out the plug to turn off the Foreman. Then allow chicken to sit for another 2 minutes.
If the cutlets are thick, make diaginal slits in them before you start marinading.
But use you judgement throughout the process.

I keep pouring back the seasoning that drips out. That keeps the chicken or meat from drying out.

if you brine the chicken breasts first they will stay very juicy . just soak them in a bowl of salt water for at least an hour, then rinse ,pat dry and season as you wish.

I use parchment paper and "wrap" the chicken in it. The juices stay inside and the chicken cooks in it.

I just wanted to add that bone-in chicken thighs take much longer to grill than chicken breasts. Grill until done (check by piercing the chicken), and nice brown grill marks appear. (Turn chicken halfway through.)
Also, for approximate amounts of the soy sauce/lemon juice marinade: use APPROXIMATELY 3 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp salt (optional).

Is there a way to have that grilled moist taste by doing it in the oven?

Yes, you cover it well and don't overbake.

I find plain chicken breasts in the oven to be too dry on their own. Unless I slice the cutlets on a diagonal after baking covered, and serving the slices over a bed of rice or salad. Or if they're breaded.
