Can barbecue be done directly on frozen meat?

It is generally not advisable to cook frozen meat directly on a barbecue. Frozen meat tends to have a higher surface moisture content, which can cause flaring-ups on a barbecue grill. This can result in uneven cooking and the potential for burning the outside of the meat while leaving the inside still uncooked. Additionally, the cooking process will take longer for frozen meat, which may require constant attention to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.

For safety reasons, it is recommended to fully thaw frozen meat before grilling to ensure consistent and proper cooking. This can be achieved by placing the meat in the refrigerator overnight or by using a safe and controlled thawing method, such as submerging the meat in cold water or using a microwave oven on the proper setting.
