  • Combine chicken and 1/2 of the marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate chicken for 1 hour to overnight. Reserve the other 1/2 of the marinade until grilling.

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, to approximately 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil the grate.

  • Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade.

  • Place chicken on the hot grill and baste with reserved marinade. Lower grill to medium and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Baste with marinade on each side when flipping chicken. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from grill, cover, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

I made this exactly as directed and the sauce was tasty. I baked it instead of grilled it and used half the marinade that was left before I put it in oven. I ended up with a lot of extra marinade. Would probably use half the amount next time. But simple enough and everyone in my house ate it, even my extremely picky son. Read More

Sooooo yummy! I reserved some of the marinate and cooked it down in a small saucepan until it was a nice thickness/glaze to drizzle over the cooked chicken + the white rice I made with it. Delish.....the man loved it too. Gobbled up the glaze in sheer delight! Read More

Excellent marinade for chicken breasts. Easy to make. I made the recipe as submitted, but I like to let marinades sit for a few hours before using them. Read More

This will be my third time making this terrific marinade. We love it. It's on my regular rotation. Today, I'm splitting a whole chicken for the grill and will use the full recipe (no adjustment, like that feature BTW) I found 1 to 1 1/2 hr fridge time is all it needs for our taste. Bonapetite.
