Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade in this recipe is a great way to infuse the chicken with flavor. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for best results.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat: Grilling the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you grill the chicken over high heat, it is more likely to burn on the outside before it is cooked through.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert the meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken to get an accurate reading.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Letting the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving will help to keep it juicy and flavorful.
