  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
