Pro Tips

If the chicken sticks to the grill, oil the grill grates before cooking.
If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce the heat to medium.
Recipe Variations
Add spices like paprika or cayenne for a kick.
Substitute chicken with firm tofu for a vegetarian option.
Healthy Alternatives
Use skinless chicken thighs for more flavor.
Try grilling with avocado oil instead of olive oil for higher smoke point.
