1. Take all the marinade ingredients and whisk them together in a large bowl or zip lock bag. Add the chicken to the marinade and marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight. (I marinate for 12 to 24 hours to really get the flavor).
2.Preheat grill to medium high heat. Add chicken to grill and cook, turning over until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes on each side. (Watch the grill…with the skin on the chicken it can burn easy)!
