Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, but up to 12 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken on the hot grill and immediately turn the temperature down to medium. Cover and cook until chicken is fully cooked, flipping once. (It should register 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the meat not touching a bone. This usually takes about 10 minutes per side over medium heat with the grill closed.)
Remove chicken, garnish and serve!
