Tips for Grilling Chicken
- Because there is oil in the marinade, you do not need to use any more. Your chicken will not stick to the grill.
- Don't crowd the meat on the grill. Allow at least 1/2" between the chicken breasts.
- Keep the grill temperature about 425-degrees F and grill the chicken breasts about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Keep the grill closed so that the heat can cook the meat though.
