This is a method of cooking in boiling water so that the food is only half cooked. For example parboiling potatoes will enable them to be roasted in the oven in half the time and they wont be overcooked and go mushy. Or parboil asparagus so it still retains a crunch.

It is not necessary to parboil chicken, whether whole or parts, before grilling. But if you do choose to parboil it first, you can boil it until it's fully cooked, then grill on high heat until it's the color and outer texture you want. Or you can parboil it until it's about halfway done, then finish cooking on the grill. You can add seasonings to the water when parboiling to give it extra flavor, whether you parboil it till done, or parboil it only part done.
