Notes
- What temperature should chicken be cooked to? You will need to cook the chicken to 165 degrees F when tested in the thickest part.
- OIL – any kind of oil, sesame oil is great in this, but I typically just use whatever is on hand.
- Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts – you’ll get very moist, tender grilled chicken if you prefer to use thighs! I like
- You can use freshly minced garlic in this if you’d like. I generally choose NOT to because if it ends up on the chicken when grilling, it burns. Burned garlic doesn’t taste great.
- Vinegar – any kind will do – I’ve used red wine, white wine, plain distilled white vinegar, as well as apple cider vinegar!
- This chicken marinade can be used on pork chops too!
