Instructions

Prepare the Chicken
Begin by cutting your chicken into serving-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and makes it easier to handle on the grill. -
Season the Chicken
Sprinkle the chicken pieces generously with garlic powder. This step is crucial for infusing the chicken with a robust garlic flavor. -
Mix the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the dried basil and soy sauce. This mixture will serve as a flavorful basting sauce for the chicken. -
Preheat the Grill
Lightly oil your hot grill to prevent sticking. Place the chicken pieces on the grill. -
Grill and Baste
As the chicken cooks, brush the basil and soy sauce mixture onto the pieces. This will add layers of flavor and keep the chicken moist. -
Cook to Perfection
Continue grilling the chicken until it is no longer pink inside. Ensure you don’t overcook the chicken to avoid dryness. -
Alternate Cooking Method
If you prefer, you can cook the chicken in the broiler. Just be sure to monitor closely to prevent overcooking. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once the chicken is perfectly cooked, remove it from the grill, and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful, easy grilled chicken!
Tips for Success
- Oil the Grill: Lightly oiling the grill helps to prevent the chicken from sticking and makes for easier cleanup.
- Watch the Heat: Keep an eye on the grill temperature to ensure the chicken cooks evenly without burning.
- Rest the Chicken: Letting the chicken rest after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, making for a juicier bite.
