  • Use a variety of marinades: There are many different marinades that you can use to flavor grilled chicken. Some popular options include olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Experiment with different cooking methods: In addition to grilling, you can also cook chicken on a stovetop, in an oven, or on a smoker. Experiment with different cooking methods to find the one that you like best.
