Notes

Pro tip: If you plan to reuse marinade as a glaze, set aside a portion before adding raw chicken to avoid cross-contamination. Store cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days; freeze up to 2 months (thaw overnight in the fridge). For a lighter option, use low-sugar BBQ sauce and reduce the brown sugar to 1 tbsp without changing the grilling method.
