Notes:
You can use this marinade on any cut of chicken you prefer – chicken tenders, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, chicken wings, or chicken legs.
Can use boneless or bone-in chicken. Adjust the cooking time to ensure an internal temperature of 165ºF.
My #1 tip when grilling chicken is to pound the chicken breast to an even thickness. We put the chicken in a ziplock bag and use a flat meat mallet or rolling pin to pound out the hump carefully. This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and you don’t have juicy chicken and half-dry chicken.
No grill? No problem! You can cook the chicken inside. Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Pan-sear the chicken breasts on the stovetop for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 400ºF in the oven for 10 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
