Indoor
Preheat broiler. Broil until the chicken is opaque, with no trace of pink, 3 minutes per side.
Think ahead
Make marinade up to 3 days in advance. Cover and refrigerate. Marinade chicken up to 4 hours in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
Makes 4 servings.
Barbecue Chicken Tenderness Tips
Avoid freezing whenever possible to eliminate additional moisture loss during thawing, which results in less tender meat.
Keep chicken from drying out in the refrigerator by keeping it tightly wrapped. If the chicken dries out, it will become tough.
Leaving the skin on the chicken, when cooking it, helps to hold in juices, which increases tenderness.
To keep breast area of chicken from drying out during roasting, place a piece of foil over this area. Remove during last 30 minutes of roasting time to allow the skin to brown properly.
