Grill or Blacken the Chicken
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, oil the grates lightly. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred. If using a skillet, cook similarly until charred and cooked through.
