• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste when ready to grill

Directions

Mix all ingredients except the salt and pepper in a bowl, then pour into either a container with a lid that seals, or into a zip-lock bag. Add the skinned chicken pieces, the size you will be grilling, and let marinate 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling. Remove chicken from marinade and begin grilling, brushing on the marinade occasionally to keep the chicken moist. Grill until chicken is done when pierced to release a bit of clear juice.

Note: This recipe makes about 3/4's of a cup. It can be doubled or tripled for more if needed.
