Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken pieces on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
