Place the chicken in a shallow non-reactive dish and rub the marinade all over the chicken, cover and place in refrigerator for at least 4 hrs or possibly overnight. Turn chicken halfway through this marination period.
- Prepare the grill for the direct heat method. Spray the grid with a non-stick spray oil and let it get warm. Remove the warm grid and re-spray the oil, replace to grill. Place the chicken on the grid and cook over medium-warm temperature for 8-9 min then flip. Disgard the remaining marinade. Grill an additional 6-7 min till the juice run clear. Remove to a platter.
