5
Fire up the grill and brush a little oil on the grate.
6
Spoon some of the garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño from the marinade on top of the chicken, then place it on the grill.
7
Grill over medium heat until golden brown and charred on both sides, about 5 to 7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve immediately. Alternatively, use a grill pan or bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes until the skin is browned and charred.
