Grill over medium to medium-high heat until cooked through, basting with reserved marinade during last few minutes of cooking. (Internal temperature should reach 165°F.)
Test Kitchen Tips:
• Don’t have time to marinate? Place meat and marinade mixture in bag. Massage 5 minutes, turning bag over often so meat absorbs most of the marinade.
• To prepare with boneless skinless chicken breast, marinate as directed. Grill over medium-high heat 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F), brushing with reserved marinade.
• To prepare with bone-in chicken parts, such as thighs and legs, marinate as directed. Grill over medium heat with grill cover closed 30 to 40 minutes or until cooked through, turning occasionally and brushing with reserved marinade.
Serving Suggestion: Cut 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs into 1-inch chunks. Marinade as directed and thread onto skewers along with veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, squash, or red onion. Grill over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning frequently and basting with reserved marinade.
