How To Make Grilled Garlic Chicken:
I chose to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts when Kylie and I planned out our dinner. If they are big or you make too much, don’t worry; the leftovers are tasty.
Now I had never used the garlic base, so I was excited to try it out! As soon as I opened the jar, you could smell the fantastic flavor.
In a bowl, mix your marinade ingredients until you reach a paste-like consistency.
In a container or a bag, cover your chicken with the paste.
Be sure to allow the chicken to marinate for at least half an hour. You could let this to marinate overnight. I brushed and shook around the chicken container a bit to ensure the chicken was coated.
Rub your grill with oil or nonstick to ensure your chicken won’t stick.
Fire up your grill to medium-high heat.
Once your grill is heated, place your chicken on the top rack.
Flip your chicken after about 15 minutes, and then check with a food thermometer. Chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees or hotter before serving.
Serve and enjoy!!
