Notes
- If using a dual-contact grill, the cooking time will be shorter. I made these in my dual-contact electric grill, and they came out juicy and perfect after a total of 4 minutes.
- While you want the chicken to be cooked through, you also want to avoid drying it out. So keep a close eye on it and check the internal temperature. As soon as it reaches 165°F, remove the chicken from the grill.
- You can keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I don't like to reheat them because it dries them out, so I shred them and use them in a salad. If you decide to reheat them, do so gently in the microwave, covered, at 50% power. You can also freeze the leftovers for up to three months.
