3. Pour marinade over chicken, seal bag, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

4. Preheat and oil grill to medium-high heat (375–450°F).

5. Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade.

6. Grill chicken for 5–8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

7. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For best results, start cooking over higher heat for grill marks, then finish over lower heat.
