Notes

For added juiciness, consider brining the chicken for 30 minutes before marinating. Mix water, salt, and a hint of sugar, then soak the chicken.
Don’t overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking, and pat the chicken dry before marinating for better adhesion.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
Try different marinades like teriyaki or garlic parmesan for variety!
