3. Then grill your chickens in medium settings to high charcoal on each side for around five to six minutes.

This hearty chicken-recipe serves six and would only take around fifteen minutes to grill this dish. But I highly recommend to allow the marinade to be absorbed for over two hours.

You have to bear in mind, chickens especially the breast part don’t contain much fat because it’s a lean type of meat. Do remember this and be sure that when you’re cooking breast meat that you’d have lots of liquids or make sure that your chicken has absorbed much of your marinade because it might dry up during the cooking process.
