You'll have leftover marinade, store it in a glass jar under refrigeration. Marinate the chicken for 3 hours or longer in the refrigerator.

Grill the chicken over a medium-hot fire for 45-55 minutes until the juices run clear when pierced with a knife. Turn the chicken often during the cooking time to avoid burning. Baste often while grilling, with the marinade, to ensure a moist and flavorful product.
