Fire up your
grill to medium-high heat and get ready to cook up a storm! Or Preheat oven to 400F.
Cook for 10-15 minutes on grill or until internal temp shows 165F.
For those without a grill, fear not! You can still achieve that delicious char by cooking it on the stove.
Preheat your
oven, heat up some olive oil in a pan, and sear the chicken before finishing it
off in the oven about 15-20 minutes or until internal temp shows 165F.
Remember to pound your chicken to produce an even thickness for evenly cooked chicken, prep your grill or stove properly, and invest in a food thermometer for that perfect cook every time.
