Method
 

Prepare Chicken
  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
Marinate
  1. Prepare your chosen marinade by combining all ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
Grill
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F / 190-200°C).
  2. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Place chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, baste the chicken with extra marinade during the last few minutes of grilling, if desired. Ensure all marinade used for basting has been brought to a boil to kill any bacteria. Serve with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
