Cook the Chicken
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). If using an oven, place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
