- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least eight hours or overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more aromatic and delicious dish.
- When you're ready to cook the chicken, there are two main methods you can choose from: grilling or roasting.
- If you prefer to grill the chicken, preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the marinated chicken pieces on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, to prevent burning. The chicken should be cooked through and the juices should run clear when pierced with a fork.
- If you prefer to roast the chicken in the oven, preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the skin is crispy.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
