Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute. This will result in more tender and juicy chicken.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can substitute dried herbs. Use about 1/3 of the amount of fresh herbs.
