Ingredients
Directions
1. Wash hands with soap and running water.
2. Place chicken in a non-reactive container (a glass pie pan is great) or plastic food-storage bag. Wash hands after handling raw chicken.
3. Cover chicken with marinade, wrap container with plastic wrap or seal bag. If using a food-storage bag, place on a plate to catch any drips if bag leaks.
4. Let chicken marinate for 4 to 24 hours.
5. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Using tongs, transfer chicken to grill and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until it's about halfway cooked.
6. Flip chicken over and cook another 3 to 5 minutes, until reaching 165 degrees Fahrenheit (for at least 30 seconds) as indicated with an instant-read food thermometer.
7. Using clean tongs, transfer chicken to a clean serving plate.
Note: Never resuse marinade that has been used on raw meat. If you want to baste cooked chicken with marinade, keep a small amount set aside at the start before pouring entire marinade on chicken, for this last step.
