Note

Safety: Do not reuse the raw marinade or sauce that touched raw chicken for basting unless it has been boiled for at least one minute. It is safer to set aside some sauce before brushing it on the raw chicken.

Substitution: If you do not have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Tip: Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness for more uniform cooking.

Storage: Store leftover cooked chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
