- Place chicken in a plastic zipper bag or other container. Pour marinade over chicken and marinate in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to cook, heat grill to medium. Place chicken on grill grates, close cover. Cook for 3 minutes and then turn the chicken a quarter turn, do not flip. Cook another 2 minutes and then flip chicken to cook on the other side. You should have some nice grill marks on the cooked side. Grill another 3 minutes, turn a quarter turn, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.

- Remove from grill and serve immediately.
