Preparation

Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for the best flavor.

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the excess.
Grill or bake the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
