  • Put the tails on the grill and cook for a few minutes on each side (timings in the FAQs section). The meat will be opaque and lightly charred when it's done, and if you have a meat thermometer, you can check that the meat has reached an internal temperature of about 135°F to 140°F. Baste the tails with the other half of the sauce while they are cooking.
