Instructions

Step 1

If marinating the meat in a large bowl or dish, combine all the ingredients, except for meat, directly in the bowl. Otherwise whisk everything together in a small to medium bowl.

Step 2

Add the meat to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover securely and transfer to the refrigerator. Marinate for at least 1 hour, but I find 3-6 hours the ideal amount of time. I don't recommend longer than 12 hours because it changes the chicken's texture.

Step 3

Set the chicken at room temperature for 15-20 minutes while the grill preheats to medium. Lightly grease the grates.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the rest. Grill for 5 minutes, undisturbed, on one side. Flip and grill for 3-6 minutes more, or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165℉.

Step 5

Remove from the grill and loosely cover with foil. Rest for 3-5 minutes, before serving.
