I served the grilled chicken with rice and beans, and it was a perfect meal. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, and the rice and beans were a great complement.

I grilled the chicken over charcoal instead of gas, and it gave it a delicious smoky flavor. I would highly recommend grilling the chicken over charcoal if you have the option.

I marinated the chicken for 24 hours instead of 4 hours, and it was even more flavorful. I would definitely recommend marinating the chicken for longer if you have the time.

I had some trouble finding jalapeño peppers at my local grocery store. I ended up using a serrano pepper instead, and it worked out great.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less jalapeño pepper if you don't like spicy food.
