Instructions

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients.
Place chicken in a ziploc bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over chicken, tossing to coat the chicken evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours but up to 18 hours.
Preheat grill to medium- or medium-high (I use about 375 degrees on my pellet grill) and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees at the thickest part of the chicken. (The chicken can also be cooked in a skillet on the stove or broiled in the oven.)

Notes

Chicken: I like to use thin cut chicken breasts or chicken tenders (I find they absorb the flavor and marinade better). If I only have thicker chicken breasts, I cut them in half lengthwise (like a hamburger) to form thinner cutlets before marinading.
