Tips:
- Choose a flavorful marinade: Marinating your chicken in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before it is safe to eat.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
