Special Precautions and Tips:

- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes, you can still make this recipe. However, the flavor will not be as pronounced.
