Grilling Tips
For great grilled chicken, use these tips for perfectly tender and moist chicken every time:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F. Do not overcook, as that will lead to dry and tough chicken.
- Keep the lid of your grill closed during cooking. This will keep the heat in and allow the chicken to cook more evenly.
Storage and reheating tips
These grilled chicken breasts can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat them in the microwave for a minute or so until warmed through.

Very tasty, simple recipe. Grills beautifully - I use deboned chicken thighs & it rivals L & L Hawaiian BBQ at a fraction of the cost. Easy to make & yummy! Great recipe

Yum!!! Love these flavors! We use a very similar marinade for wings but this is a healthier option. Will do!
