Completely Foolproof 100% Delicious Grilled Chicken

Directions

Trim all visible fat and membranes from chicken breasts, then cut small crosswise slits about 1/2 inch apart down the length of each chicken breast. Combine marinade ingredients and mix together. Put chicken in single layer in a ziploc bag. Pour marinade over chicken. Marinate chicken in the refrigerator 6 hours or longer. This is great to put in the refrigerator in the morning when you go to work and cook after work that night. To cook, remove chicken from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Spray grill with non-stick spray or olive oil, and preheat to medium high. Have a spray bottle ready to spray flames which may shoot up when chicken is first put on the grill. Drain chicken, then put it on the grill at an angle to grill grates with top side of chicken down. After 3-4 minutes , rotate so it’s going the opposite angle to get criss-cross marks. Cook 3-4 minutes more, then when you have good grill marks turn and cook until chicken is well browned and firm but not hard to the touch. Actual cooking time will depend on how hot your grill is, temperature of the chicken, and even air temperature if you’re cooking outside, but I cooked the chicken in the photos about 12 minutes. For best results, use an Instant-Read Meat Thermometer and cook chicken until it reaches 165F/75C. .
