Note

Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for safety.

If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high and adjust vents to maintain consistent heat.

Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before grilling, reserving a portion of the sauce for brushing later.
