2. Marinating:

   • Pour the marinade over chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
   • Cover the marinated chicken and refrigerate overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat.

3. Grilling:

   • When ready to cook, remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
   • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
   • Grill the chicken until it is cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), and the juices run clear, typically about 6-8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken.

4. Oven-Baking:

   • Alternatively, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it in a baking dish.
   • Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, tender, and golden brown.
