Grill Chicken
Remove chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
