How To Make grilled chicken

  • 1
    Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried marjoram, and freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl.
  • 2
    Add the boneless skinless chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours. Marinate bone-in skin on or off chicken breasts, thighs, drumsticks, and wings for 1-12 hours.
  • 3
    Preheat the grill to medium heat or about 400 degrees. Grill for 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Flip and grill another 5-7 minutes or until an internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
