Marinade

  2. Reserve a small amount of the marinade for basting later.

  2. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  3. Baste with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking for added flavor.
Serve
