Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure the chicken is cooked through by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
• If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can still grill it as is. However, the flavor will be less developed.
• For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken for longer. You can also add other spices or herbs to the marinade, such as paprika, rosemary, or bay leaves.
