Notes
- nutritional information for the batch of the marinade as a whole, not including chicken
- Before marinating, pound the chicken to an even 3/4 inch thickness so it cooks evenly.
- Poke the chicken with a knife or fork numerous times before adding the marinade to help the marinade soak deeper into the meat.
- As I mentioned above, flip or stir the chicken during the marinating process to make sure the marinade soaks all parts of the meat.
- Keep the chicken refrigerated while marinating for food safety. Bacteria can spread quickly on chicken left at room temperature.
- Grease the grill generously by pouring vegetable or canola oil on a paper towel and running it along the grate. This prevents sticking of the meat.
- If you like you can double the marinade recipe and keep half set aside for basting the chicken as it cooks (do NOT baste with the marinade the chicken sat in.)
- Do not skip letting the chicken rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute in the meat.
