Notes
Recipe tips.
- If chicken breasts are used, pound them to an even thickness. Grill boneless chicken thighs or breasts for 5-7 minutes per side. For bone-in chicken breasts or thighs, sear for 5 minutes on each side and move to indirect heat and grill another 20-25 minutes, flipping occasionally.
- Take the chicken off the grill at 160°F and allow it to rest. The temperature will rise another 5-10 degrees, bringing it to a safe 165°F.
- Oven-baked directions: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Sear the outside of the chicken in a skillet with a bit of olive oil, then place the chicken on a baking pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Make a freezer meal: Freeze the chicken in the marinade for up to 6 months. The chicken will continue to marinate as it thaws and will be ready to throw on the grill.
