Notes
- You can also make this chicken in a large skillet rather than on the grill. Heat your skillet over medium-high heat then add your chicken to the hot skillet. You may need to cook in batches so the pan isn’t overcrowded. Cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, flip, and cook for another 10 minutes. This is a great way to have BBQ-style chicken in the winter!
